PREFACE. 


The  genealogical  MSS.  left  by  Mr.  Howard  Williams  Lloyd  con- 
sist of  a  number  of  volumes  of  notes  and  correspondence  relating  to 
those  early  settlers  in  Pennsylvania  from  whom  he  was  descended, 
and,  incidentally,  to  some  of  their  relations,  neighbours,  and  pos- 
terity. The  reports  which,  from  time  to  time,  he  received  from  his 
several  correspondents  in  England  and  Wales,  are  included,  for  the 
most  part,  in  four  folio  volumes,  and  are  inserted  without  classifi- 
cation, and  not  always  in  the  order  in  which  they  were  received. 

In  common  with  others  engaged  in  such  research,  he  himself  col- 
lected, and  also  received  from  abroad,  much  data  which,  eventually, 
proved  to  have  no  bearing  whatever  on  the  lines  in  which  he  was 
interested.  For  instance,  there  are  among  his  MSS.  a  large  number 
of  wills  of  persons  named  Pennell,  Panall,  etc.,  who  died  during  the 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries,  in  places  very  distant  from 
J2  Balderton,  Notts,  where  Robert  Pennell  was  born  in  1640,  and  whose 
S  connection,  if  any,  with  the  Notts  family  must  have  been  exceed- 
ingly remote.  The  same  thing  may  be  said  as  to  searches  in  re  the 
Sloper,  Newman,  Knight,  Jackson  and  other  families.  There  are, 
likewise,  a  considerable  number  of  abstracts  of  Welsh  wills,  admini- 
strations, and  extracts  from  parish  registers,  concerning  miscel- 
laneous Lloyds,  Wynne-,  Griffiths,  and  others,  none  of  which  relate 
to  persons  even  remotely  connected  with  the  individual-  Mr.  Lloyd 
was  attempting  to  trace,  or  with  each  other. 

Scattered  through  the  MSS.,  also,  are  numerous  copies  of  pedi- 
grees, from  the  Heralds  Visitations,  of  families  bearing  the  same 
names  as  those  from  which  Mr.  Lloyd  de.-cended ;  but  the  connec- 
tion, if  any,  between  the  two  is  usually  more  than  problematical. 
This  is  exceptionally  true  as  to  the  Welsh  pedigree-,  of  which  there- 
are  many,  all  copied  from  Dwnn's  Yi.-itations  of  Wales,  Lloyd's 
"History  of  Powys  Fadog,''  the  "Montgomeryshire  Colled 
and  similar  publications.  All  such  data  can  well  remain  in  MS.  for 
the  enlightenment  or  mystification  of  the  curious. 

In  two  of  the  volumes  devoted  to  the  results  of  searches  regarding 

£ 


vi  PREFACE. 

the  ancestry  of  Robert  Lloyd,  and  in  other  volumes  containing 
material  concerning  other  Welsh  ancestors  of  Mr.  Lloyd,  will  be 
found  much  information  about  other  early  settlers  in  Merion,  Rad- 
nor. Haverford,  and  Gwynedd,  but  little  of  importance  is  to  be 
found  among  these  notes  which  has  not  already  appeared  in  print. 

Several  volumes  contain  genealogies  of  the  descendants  of  the 
Lloyd,  Jones  (from  John  ap  Thomas  of  Merion),  and  other  families. 
These  are  of  real  interest,  but,  in  many  cases,  owing  to  confusion  in 
arrangement,  are  difficult  to  understand,  and,  if  published,  would 
certainly  include  many  unavoidable  errors.  As  they  stand  they  are 
certain  to  be  most  useful  to  genealogists. 

The  most  valuable  part  of  Mr.  Lloyd's  collection  consists  of  data 
collected  from  Pennsylvania,  English,  and  Welsh  records,  relat- 
ing to  those  families  from  which  he  derived  descent,  and  concerning 
which,  in  most  cases,  little  or  nothing  has  heretofore  been  written. 
In  the  few  instances  where  partial  records  of  these  families  have 
been  printed,  Mr.  Lloyd  has  either  corrected  errors,  as  in  the  Awbrey 
pedigree,  or  added  much  interesting  information,  as  in  the  biograph- 
ical sketch  of  John  Blunston.  In  most  cases  he  has  traced  the 
families  back  for  several  generations  prior  to  their  removal  to 
Pennsylvania. 

Mr.  Lloyd,  some  years  before  his  death,  began  the  compilation  of 
biographical-genealogical  sketches  of  a  number  of  these  early  col- 
onists.  His  decease  left  these  in  the  rough  and  incomplete,  his  corre- 
spondence indicating  that  he  expected  to  add  considerably  to  them 
when  the  searches  which  he  had  planned  were  complete*!. 

The  following  genealogies  embrace  the  most  important  part  of 
Mr.  Lloyd's  labours.  His  rough  notes  have  been  carefully  com- 
pared with  original  transcripts  and  foreign  reports,  and  the  imper- 
fect .-ketches  completed  and  edited. 

Opportunity  has  permitted  a  personal  examination  of  many  of 
the  records  in  England  and  Wales  which  Mr.  Lloyd  cites,  and  others, 
not  searched  by  him,  bearing  on  the  subject.  This  has  resulted  in 
the  verification  of  some  doubtful  lines,  and  additions  to  others. 

It  should  be  mentioned  here  that  Mr.  Lloyd  had  a  fixed  conviction 
that  the  correct  way  to  compile  a  genealogy  was  to  begin  with  later 
generations  and  add  the  earlier  ones  afterwards,  and  his  rough  notes 
were  50  arranged.     This  plan,  in  deference  to  Mr.  Lloyd's  opinion, 


PREFACE.  vii 

has,  as  far  as  practicable,  been  carried  out,  although  contrary  to 
accepted  methods.  In  conformity  with  this  theory,  Mr.  Lloyd 
always  used  the  word  "  ascent"  instead  of  "  descent,"  when  speaking 
of  anyone's  lineage. 

Some  copies  of  records  of  especial  interest,  relating  to  Merioneth- 
shire, Flintshire,  and  Montgomeryshire,  and  a  few  notes  regarding 
the  early  Welsh  colonists,  have  been  added.

AWBREY-VAUGHAN 


A  W  B  R  E  Y-V  A  U  G  H  A  N. 

William  Awbrey  or  as  the  name  has  been  spelled  in  later  years 
Aubrey,  was  a  resident  of  the  Parish  of  Llanelieu,  in  Brecknockshire, 
Wales.  He  was  born,  perhaps  in  that  parish,  in  1626,  and  died 
December  16th,  1716,  aged  90  years. 

Llanelieu,  as  described  in  "  The  History  of  Brecknockshire,"  by 
Theophilus  Jones,  is  situated  to  the  east  of  Talgarth.  The  Church 
is  dedicated  to  Saint  Ellyw,  a  granddaughter  of  Brychan  Brecheiniog. 
In  Lewis's  Topographical  Dictionary  it  states  that  the  parish  is  in 
the  union  of  Hay,  hundred  of  Talgarth,  and  5  miles  southwest  by 
south  from  Hay,  and  several  ancient  mansions  are  mentioned.  One 
of  these,  called  Llanelieu  Court,  which  is  situate  near  the  Church, 
belonged  to  the  Awbrey  family.  On  the  sides  of  the  entrance  gate 
to  the  grounds  are  the  following  inscriptions : — 

Excitus  acta  probat,  1676.  Sic  hora  sic  vita.  Deus  nobis  haec  otia  fecit, 
R.  A.  W.  M.,  Anno  Domni.  .  .  .  Noctua  II  vola,  1676,  W.  A.  H.  I.  Non 
Jupiter  quidem  omnibus  placet.    Spes  alit  exules. 

The  church  is  a  small  ancient  edifice,  consisting  of  a  nave  and 
chancel;  and  is  situated  in  a  mountain  dell,  sheltered  on  the  south- 
east by  the  Black  Mountains. 

William  Aubrey,  the  father  of  Martha  who  married  Rees  Thomas 
of  Pennsylvania,  is  mentioned  in  a  booklet  reprinted  in  1837,  under 
the  following  title : 

A  Collection  of  Elegiac  Poems  Devoted  to  the  Memory  of  the  Late  Virtu- 
ous and  Excellent  Matron  and  Worthy  Elder  in  the  Church  of  Christ,  (of  the 
Society  of  Friends),  Martha  Thomas,  Late  Wife  of  Rees  Thomas,  of 
M,erion,  in  the  County  of  Philada.,  in  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania;  And 
Daughter  of  William  Aubrey  of  Llan  Elew,  in  the  County  of  Brecknock  in 
Great  Britain  who  departed  this  life  on  the  7th  of  the  Twelfth  Month,  1726- 
27,  ..."  A  Woman  that  f  eareth  the  Lord,  she  shall  be  praised."  "  Give  her 
the  Fruit  of  her  Hands,  and  let  her  Works  praise  her  in  the  Gates."  .  .  . 
Prov.  XXXI,  30,  31.  .  .  .  Philadelphia:  Printed  By  Samuel  Keimer,  In 
Second  Street.     MDCCXXVII.     Reprinted  By  Lydia  R.  Bailey.     1837. 

Preface.  .  .  .  The  excellence  of  the  Christian  religion  is  most  effectually 
displayed  in  the  examples  of  individuals,  whose  characters  it  has  formed,  and

whose  lives  it  has  directed.  Such  happily  do  appear  in  every  age  of  the 
Church,  and  among  them  some  who  shine  with  peculiar  lustre. 
The  subject  of  this  short  Memoir,  who  closed  her  earthly  existence  one 
hundred  to  ten  years  ago,  being  among  the  number  of  those  whose  lights 
have  so  shone,  that  others,  having  seen  her  good  works,  have  glorified  our 
Father  who  is  in  Heaven,  and  believing  that  there  are  yet  those  amongst  her 
descendants,  (for  whom  I  have  been  interested  to  have  this  reprinted),  who 
may  be  profited  by  the  perusal,  being  myself  of  the  fourth  generation  from 
her.  I  therefore  submit  it  most  affectionately,  wishing  that  such  a  ponion  of 
the  divine  spirit  may  be  granted  unto  us  all  as  to  make  us  w:ise  unto  salvation. 
The  original  publication,  with  the  first  information  I  ever  had  on  the  subject, 
was  handed  to  me  a  few  days  since  by  my  valued  friend  and  relation  Eliza- 
beth Williams,  her  descendant  of  the  third  generation. 

The  stile  of  verse  is  of  the  kind  that  was  very  much  adopted  by  writers  of 
that  time  in  this  country,  but  in  the  present  day  not  esteemed  correct.  It  is  on 
account  of  the  substance  and  subject  that  I  value  it. 

Mary  Jones, 
of  Wynne  Wood. 
2d  mo.  27th,  1837. 

To  The  Reader, 
Friendly    reader.  .  .  .  We    are    told    in    the    sacred    Oracles,    "that    the 
righteous  shall  be  had  in  everlasting  remembrance ;  "  and  there  is  the  highest 
reason   for  it,  that  their  virtues   might  shine,  as  so  many  lights,   to  direct 
others  in  the  paths  of  truth  and  holiness. 

Besides  which,  there  is  a  holy  joy  oftentimes  begot  in  the  souls  of  the  single 
hearted,  in  the  honest,  humble  soul,  whose  life  is  hid  with  Christ  in  God. 
when  it  reviews  and  contemplates  on  the.  holy  life  and  blessed  end  of  it.- 
departed  friend  or  relation. 

The  subject  of  the  following  lines  was  a  person  who  comes  under  tin 
character  before  mentioned;  who,  as  her  life  was  exemplary,  so  her  memory 
is,  and  will  be  precious  to  all  those  who  were  acquainted  with  her. 
Though  she  had  not  a  public  testimony  for  God  in  congregated  assemblies, 
yet  her  whole  life  was  a  continual  monitor,  and  was  as  a  preacher,  whether 
considered  as  a  wife,  a  mother,  an  elder  in  the  church,  a  mistress,  a  neigh- 
bour, or  a  friend. 

This  worhty  elder  was  so  signalised  for  her  virtues  that  (like  her  dear, 
blessed,  and  ever-to-bc-remembered  sister  in  Christ,  the  late  Hannah  Hill). 

I  never  could  hear  that  malice  or  slander  ever  did  so  much  as  attack  ;  a 
privilege  that  many  of  God's  dear  children  do  not  often  enjoy. 
As  her  life  was  righteous,  so  her  death  was  sweet,  and  the  father  of  mercies 
was  graciously  pleased,  (according  to  her  desire)  to  favour  her  with  her 
senses,  even  to  her  last  moments.  When  her  departure  drew  near,  being 
asked  by  her  husband,  "  how  it  was  with  her,"  she  answered,  "  she  had  noth- 
ing to  obstruct  her  (implying  her  perfect  resignation  and  peace  of  soul). 
and  that  ever  since  she  had  been   in   this  country,   (which   was  about  thirty- 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN.  5 

five  years),  she  never  had  strife  with  any  one;"  tenderly  and  affectionately 
advising  her  children  to  walk  in  the  ways  of  God,  and  strictly  to  keep  to 
meetings,  which  she,  in  a  dying  hour,  had  found  so  much  comfort  and 
sweetness  in. 

May  all  her  friends  and  relations,  her  servants  and  children,  endeavour  to 
imitate  her  virtues,  that  as  she  lived,  they  may  live ;  and  as  she  died,  they 
may  die,  in  peace,  joy,  and  love;  so  that  they,  with  all  the  faithful,  may  say, 
rejoicing  with  the  worthies  of  old,  "whether  we  live,  we  live  to  the  Lord, 
or  whether  we  die,  we  die  to  the  Lord ;  whether  living  or  dying,  we  are  the 
Lord's." 

AN    ELEGY 

In  Memory  of  the  pious  Life  and  exemplary  Conversation  of  that  worthy 
Elder  Martha  Thomas,  late  Wife  to  Rees  Thomas,  of  Merion,  in  the  Prov- 
ince of  Pennsylvania,  who  exchanged  this  Life  for  a  glorious  Immortality, 
the  jth  of  the  12th  Month,  1726-7. 


"  Blessed   are    the    Peace-makers,    for  they    shall   be   called   the   children    of 
God."     Mat.  V,  9. 

"...  Even  the  ornament  of  a  meek  and  quiet  spirit,  which  is,  in  the  sight 
of  God,  of  great  price."     I  Pet.  Ill,  4. 


As  praise  is  due   (whilst  rolling  time  shall  be 
Hast'ning  to  th'  ocean  of  eternity) 

Unto  the  just;  and  as  their  mem'ries  claim 

A  lasting  record  of  eternal  fame; 

So  peaceful  Martha,  Martha,  now  the  blest, 
Though  gone,  she's  passed  to  everlasting  rest ; 

Yet  to  her  pious  memory  we  owe 

Respect  and  praise :  and  all  that  we  can  show 
Falls  vastly  short  of  her  deserved  due. 

God's  faithful  servants,  who  with  Life  in  hand, 
To  do  His  will,  did  run  at  his  command, 
She  gladly  entertained ;  and  to  the  poor 
She  freely  did  distribute  of  her  store. 
Within  her  breast,  detracting  fame  could  find 
No  place :  such  poison  ne'er  could  taint  her  mind : 
And  all  that  knew  her,  readily  agree 
She  was  composed  of  love  and  charity. 

Attended  with  such  virtues,  'twas  not  strange. 
That  nothing  could  her  peaceful  temper  change : 

Fixt  in  these  graces,  she  was  made  to  be 

A  pillar  in  the  church  and  family. 


LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

Her  ancestors'  high  fame,  so  widely  spread. 

To  emulate,  she  lower  paths  did  tread : 

And  at  Christ's  feet,  to  her,  to  see,  'twas  given 
They're  high  that  walk  the  lowly  way  to  Heaven. 

In  meekness,  patience,  piety,  and  love, 
She  sought  her  native,  peaceful  home  above : 
Her  ripen'd  soul,  in  narrow  cell  confin'd, 
Shook  off  the  clog,  and  left  frail  dust  behind. 
No  cries  could  stop,  nor  tears  could  her  retain, 
Nor  sighs,  nor  groans,  can  bring  her  back  again. 
Whilst  with  one  voice,  all  her  praises  own, 
Her  works,  speak  louder,  and  all  voices  drown. 

Oh  could  my  words  an  endless  trophy  raise, 
To  eternize  her  due  and  lasting  praise! 

But  my  dull  Muse,  alas!  can't  worthily 

Transmit  her  mem'ry  to  posterity: 
That  task  is  worthy  of  angelic  skill, 
And  can't  be  penn'd  but  by  a  Cherub's  quill. 

But  oh!  she's  gone;  and  we're  alas  bereaven 
Of  an  example  steering  straight  to  Heaven. 

Yet  from  all  groans,  from  sighs  and  tears  refrain, 
When  in  her  offspring  she  revives  again ; 

They  join'd  with  her  in  the  celestial  choir, 
Where  grief  and  anguish  shall  annoy  no  more. 
Her  pious  life  she  wisely  order'd  so, 
When  dying  she  had  nothing  else  to  do. 


TO  THE  MEMORY  OF  THAT  WORTHY  ELDER,  MARTHA 
THOMAS.  LATE  OF  MERION,  &C. 

The  mem'ry  of  the  righteous, 

Should  e'er  be  valued  high, 
And  with  faithful  children, 

Kept  everlastingly. 
Good  Friends  all  in  Merion, 

Accept  this  mite  of  me, 
Who  loved  lowly  Martha, 

As  plainly  you  may  see. 

Methinks  I  see  her  dwelling 

In  blissful  state  on  high, 
In  holy,  heavenly  mansions, 

No  carnal  eye  can  spy. 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 

She  has  done  with  grief  and  sorrow, 
And  dwelleth  now  at  rest 

With  her  great  and  good  Redeemer, 
That  knew  her  labour  best. 

This  very  tender  mother, 

True  reader,  thou  may'st  see, 
Will  now  be  daily  missed 

In  Church  and  family. 
She,  Christian  like,  was  always 

An  enemy  to  strife, 
In  truth  a  godly  matron, 

And  tender  loving  wife. 

Though  Martha  by  her  birth, 

Sprung  from  relations  high, 
She  shunn'd  superfluous  pride, 

The  badge  of  vanity. 
Yet  to  her  richest  kindred 

She  never  seemed  shy, 
And  lived  with  the  faithful 

In  love  and  unity. 

Both  affectionate  and  pleasant, 

She  was  to  rich  or  poor, 
Never  any  suffered  want 

That  came  within  her  door 
The  spirit  of  the  Almighty, 

Who  teacheth  all  the  best, 
Remained  in  this  woman, 

To  be  for  ever  blest. 

Truth  shined  very  glorious, 

As  stars  do  in  the  sky, 
To  make  her  a  chosen  vessel, 

Both  fit  to  live  or  die. 
Whom  though  her  loving  neighbours 

So  mightily  do  miss, 
She  dwells  with  holy  angels 

In  everlasting  bliss. 

Martha  was  approved 

In  all  fidelity, 
Desiring  that  her  children 

Should  hate  all  vanity, 


LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

And  that  the  great  Almighty, 
Who  loveth  virtue  best, 

If  they  dwell  in  his  service, 
Will  take  them  into  rest. 

She  was  a  strength  and  refuge 

Unto  her  husband  dear, 
And  under  God  so  helpful 

His  aged  heart  to  cheer. 
So  loved  by  her  neighbours, 

I  never  heard  of  one, 
That  spake  against  her  living. 

But  all  her  death  bemoan. 

Hearken  ye  lowly  mothers, 

All  you  that  knowledge  have 
Of    our    dear    loving    sister, 

Who  lies  now  in  her  grave 
Her  spirit  dwells  in  glory, 

With  the  Almighty  One, 
Although  both  youths  and  elders 

May  now  her  loss  bemoan. 

Take  after  her  example, 

All  you  of  low  degree, 
That  came  into  this  land 

Less  powerful  than  she. 
And  let  the  Holy  Spirit 

Be  now  your  daily  guide, 
Which  led  this  lowly  Christian 

In  favour  out  of  pride. 

Take  pattern  by  the  better. 

And  shun  the  baser  sort. 
To  them  that  do  love  virtue. 

O'  let  us  all  resort. 
This  meek  and  pious  example 

Great  favour  did  she  find. 
Among  the  good  and  lowly, 

In  pure  and  humble  mind. 

The  preachers  of  the  Gospel 
Who  travell'd  over  sea, 

Wore  kindly  by  her  treated, 
With  hospitality. 


AWBREY-VAUGH  A  X. 

I  heartily  desire, 

That  her  successors  may 
Be  as  truly  kind  and  loving 

In  this  their  time  and  day. 

Her  modesty  in  behaviour, 

With  meekness  was  array 'd ; 
She  left  a  good  example 

To  every  lofty  maid. 
And  likewise  to  her  children 

She  was  a  star  so  bright, 
That  nothing  without  purity 

Seem'd  comely  in  her  sight. 

A  very  good  demeanour 

Came  with  her  over  sea, 
And  so  she  did  continue 

With  us  a  light  to  be. 
A  remenant  will  be  pleased, 

Or  very  glad  to  hear 
Her  children  are  as  happy. 

And  now's  their  mother  dear. 

A  silly  busy  body, 

That  breedeth  great  discord. 
The  servitude  of  Satan, 

That  evil  doth  afford, 
A   story  made   of  envy, 

She'd  readily  refuse, 
And  would  not  have  her  children 

Take  up  with  every  news. 

She  ended  very  happy, 

Her  soul  by  grace  was  saved ; 
Who  had  the  taste  of  goodness, 

Will  now  the  fullness  have : 
God  grant  that  all  her  children 

May  walk  in  wisdom's  way, 
And  every  one  be  happy, 

Thus  Martha's  friend  doth  pray

ANOTHER   BY   A   DIFFERENT    HAND. 

Though  Martha's  gone,  and  pious  souls  deplore, 
Lament,  and  mourn  because  she  is  no  more; 
(No  more  the  comfort  of  their  weary  stage, 
No  more  companion  in  their  pilgrimage ; 
No  more  oppressed  with  pain  we  hear  her  groan ; 
No  more  the  world's  unhappiness  bemoan). 
Her  mem'ry's  ne'er  to  be  intomb'd  in  dust, 
Whilst  praises  are  return'd  unto  the  just: 
More  sweet  perfume  it  yields,  more  fragrant  far, 
Than  Arab's  gums,  than  Egypt's  spices  are. 
Of  whom  a  word  I  fain  would  stammer  forth, 
Rather  to  ease  my  grief,  than  show  her  worth ; 
And  may  my  feeble  pen  as  faultless  run 
Throughout,  as  now  her  spotless  life  hath  done. 

The  path  of  peace  she  trod,  the  port  hath  gain'd; 

Through  faith  and  patience  she  the  crown  obtain'd: 

The  Church's  loss  is  great,  and  great  her  gain, 

And  great  the  loss  her  household  doth  sustain : 

Great  loss  the  neighbourhood,  great  loss  the  poor, 

Who  unrelieved  never  pass'd  her  door. 

The  humble  conduct  of  her  Christian  life, 

All  do  acknowledge  free  from  guile  and  strife. 

Upon  her  peaceful  lips  persuasion  hung, 

Such  as  could  charm  the  most  opprobrious  tongue: 

She  lived  so  inoffensively,  that  none, 

For  aught  against  her,  e'er  could  hurl  a  stone. 

She  wisely  reconcil'd  what  once  did  vary, 

The  cares  of  Martha  with  the  faithful  Mary: 

And  one  thing  needful  was  her  chiefest  care, 

And  Mary's  part  is  now  become  her  share. 

Thus  pass'd  the  pious  spending  of  her  days, 

And  all  her  life  was  her  dear  Maker's  praise. 

Her  graceful  pattern  in  her  lowly  dress, 

Hath  from  her  youth  declared  her  loveliness. 

No  pompous  greatness  her  meek  soul  did  crave 

But  that  which  would  attend  her  through  the  grave. 

No  minute's  rest,  nor  swiftest  thought  she  sold, 

To  that  loved  plague  of  mankind,  sordid  gold. 

Her  soul  liv'd  cleanly,  without  soiling  fear 

And  entertain'd  her  welcome  Maker  there: 

His  servants  too,  who  Gospel  joys  proclaim. 

She  always  lovingly  did  entertain. 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN.  1 1 

Her  chief  delight  was  still  in  doing  good, 
Long  custom  made  it  like  her  daily  food : 
And  yet  ne'er  sought  reward,  or  public  praise, 
Before  the  end  of  all  her  toilsome  days. 
That  peace  and  love  all  parties  should  unite, 
She  strove  incessantly  with  all  her  might: 
For  that's  our  int'rest,  our  great  duty  rather, 
Because  we're  children  of  a  loving  Father : 
For  who  so  hard,  of  senses  so  bereaven 
Dreams  he  approaches,  quarrelling  to  Heaven? 
Oh  surely  none. 

But  through  forgiveness,  patience,  faith,  and  love, 
Dear  Martha  reach'd  the  peaceful  land  above. 
A  kind  and  helpful  neighbour  all  her  life, 
A  tender  mother,  and  a  loving  wife; 
Brought  hither  by  a  providential  hand, 
To  cherish  virtue  in  this  infant  land. 
Her  good  example  seal'd  her  precepts  all 
'Till  she  to  Heaven  heard  the  welcome  call. 
No  cries  could  then  retard,  nor  tears  retain, 
Nor  sighs,  nor  groans,  can  bring  her  back  again : 
All  tears  and  fears  out-fled,  she  soar'd  above 
Unto  the  joyful,  glorious  realms  of  love. 

Dear  souls,  that  for  your  loss  do  live  in  pain, 
0      Live  as  she  liv'd,  you'll  see  her  live  again. 

Finis. 

William  Awbrey,  father  of  Martha,  is  stated  to  have  married  his 
first  cousin,  Elizabeth  Awbrey.  This  fact  is  gleaned  from  an  article 
entitled  "Rees  Thomas  and  Martha  Awbrey,  Early  Settlers  in 
Merion  "  by  George  Vaux,  in  the  Pennsylvania  Magazine  of  Hist, 
and  Biog.  (Vol.  xiii,  pages  292  et  seq.).  In  other  accounts,  par- 
ticularly that  in  the  History  of  Brecknockshire  by  Theophilus  Jones, 
and  from  it  copied  into  George  T.  Clark's  Genealogies  of  Morgan 
and  Glamorgan,  William  Awbrey  married  his  first  cousin  once 
removed;  but  the  wording  of  Clark's  pedigree  leaves  us  in  doubt  as 
to  the  parentage  of  Thomas  Awbrey's  father.  Following  the  account 
of  the  family  as  given  in  "  The  History  of  Brecknockshire,"  Wil- 
liam Awbrey  was  a  son  of  Thomas  Awbrey.  Elizabeth  Awbrey  was 
the  only  child  who  lived  to  maturity  of  William  Awbrey  son  of 
Richard  Awbrey.     That  both  William  Awbrey  and  his  wife  Eliza-

beth  were  at  one  time  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends  appears 
from  the  following  extract  of  an  entry  in  Radnor  Monthly  Meeting

That  William  Awbrey  afterwards  conformed  to  the  usages  of  the 
Church  of  England  is  proved  by  his  burial  in  the  church-yard  of 
Llanelieu. 

The  following  is  the  inscription  on  a  tomb  erected  over  his  re- 
mains in  Llanelieu  church-yard : 

Here  lyeth  the  Body  of  William  Awbrey  of  Llanelyw.  son  of  Thomas 
Awbrey  Gent.  Married  Elizabeth  daughter  of  William  Awbrey.  Had  issue 
Ten.  Richard,  William,  2  Thomas,  Theophilus,  Anne,  Mary,  2  Martha,  & 
Elizabeth.  Departed  this  life  in  Hope  of  a  Joyful  Resurrection,  the  16  of 
December  17 16  aged  90. 

The  figures  2  before  the  names  Thomas  and  Martha  indicate  that 
there  were  two  children  of  these  names.  There  are  tombstone  in- 
scriptions at  Llanelieu,  showing  that  the  first  Martha  died  in  1662, 
and  the  first  Thomas  in  1669.  William  Awbrey  and  Elizabeth  were 
both  under  age  at  the  time  of  their  marriage  in  1646.  The  father 
of  Elizabeth  hastened  the  event  to  retain  his  estate  to  his  descend- 
ants as  will  be  seen  hereafter.

(Note.  One  of  the  sons  had  a  daughter  Eleanor  who  married  a  man  by 
the  name  of  Clark.  Letitia  Penn  Awbrey  in  her  Will  dated  July  20th  174%  in 
which  she  describes  herself  as  of  Christ  Church,  Spitalfields,  London,  widow, 
leaves  to  "  Eleanor  Aubrey,  now  Clark  niece  of  my  late  husband  William 
Aubrey  a  broad  piece  of  gold."  See  Pennsylvania  Magazine,  Vol.  XX,  page 
388.)  It  appears  that  William  Awbrey,  the  second  son  was  a  widower  at 
the  time  of  his  marriage  to  Letitia  Penn.  For  this  fact,  see  reference  to 
the  death  of  "our  brother  William  his  wife,"  in  letter  written  in  1695  by 
Rees  Thomas  and  Martha  Awbrey  to  her  father. 

As  there  seems,  at  this  writing,  to  be  some  doubt  whether  William 
Awbrey  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  Awbrey  were  first  cousins,  or 
whether  she  was  a  first  cousin  once  removed,  or  even  more  remotely 
related  to  her  husband ;  the  ascent  of  Elizabeth  will  be  given.2 

William  Awbrey,  the  husband,  was  a  son  of  a  Thomas  Awbrey 
who  is  stated  by  Clark  to  have  died  1669. 

Elizabeth  Awbrey  was  an  illegitimate  and  adopted  daughter,  and 
said  to  be  the  only  child  to  survive  to  maturity,  of  William  Awbrey. 
She  was  born  about  the  year  1627.  Nothing  is  known  of  her  child- 
hood. According  to  Mr.  Vaux,  her  half  brother,  John  Awbrey,  who 
would  have  been  heir  to  his  father's  estates,  died  young  and  without 
issue,  and  her  father,  finding  his  death  near,  hastily  married  Eliza- 
beth to  William  Awbrey,  hoping  by  this  means  to  place  his  son-in- 
law  in  possession  of  his  estate.  The  marriage  occurred  in  1646, 
and,  as  has  already  been  stated,  the  bride  and  groom  were  both  under 
age.  A  law  suit  resulted,  instituted  by  more  direct  heirs,  but  the 
matter  was  finally  compromised  in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  the 
young  couple.  (See  George  Vaux's  article  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Magazine,  Vol.  xiii.) 

1  Theophilus  would  seem  to  have  been  a  family  name  of  the  Aubreys  of  Llaneleu  : 
but,  at  the  same  time  it  was  a  name  very  popular  in  Brecnockshire  at  that  time,  and 
no  argument  for  any  particular  descent  can  be  based  upon  it. — Editor.

Here  follows  an  extract  of  the  will  of  William  Awbrey,  the 
father  of  Elizabeth : 

(From  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury,  London,  Somerset  House) 
Will  of  William  Awbrey  of  Llanelyu  (Llanelieu)  co.,  Brecon,  gent.,  the 
elder,  dated  4  November,  1646.  He  desires  to  be  buried  in  the  parish  church 
of  Llanelyu.  He  bequeaths  the  moitie  or  half  of  the  house  called  the  Hore 
Moore  wherein  he  now  dwells  and  of  the  tenements  and  lands  called  Bron 
Llewydd  Uchfkiven,  bron  Llwydd,  bron  Llwydd  issa  and  those  called  Tire 
Penn  y  loyne  and  also  the  leasehold  lands  in  Governk  Loyd  unto  Johan  his 
wife  for  the  term  of  six  years  after  his  decease  towards  her  maintenance  and 
the  other  moietie  in  like  manner  towards  the  education  and  maintenance  of 
William  Awbrey  the  son  of  Thomas  Awbrey  my  son-in-law  and  Elizabeth 
his  wife,  "my  reputed  daughter."  After  the  expiration  of  the  six  years  the 
property  is  to  go  to  Joan  his  wife  for  her  life  and  afterwards  to  his  son-in- 
law  William  Awbrey  and  the  heirs  of  him  and  Elizabeth  his  wife. 
He  mentions  the  house  and  lands  of  Llanelyu  wherein  his  father  Richard 
Awbrey  (lately  deceased)   resided. 

He  appoints  William  Awbrey  his  son-in-law  executor  and  Thomas  Hutchins, 
John  Watkins,  William  Thomas,  and  William  Preece  to  administer  during 
the  minority  of  William  Awbrey. 
Proved  20  September,  1647.     Fines  194. 

Richard  Awbrey,  the  father  of  William,  and  referred  to  in  the 
latter's  will,  is  believed  to  have  been  the  first  of  the  name  at  Llane- 
lieu, and  is  supposed  to  have  been  identical  with  the  Richard  Awbrey 
who  married  Anne,  one  of  the  daughters  and  co-heiresses  of  Wil- 
liam Vaughan  of  Llanelieu. 

This  Richard  Awbrey  died  but  a  short  time  before  his  son  Wil- 
liam. In  the  "  History  of  Brecknockshire,"  by  Jones,  the  date  1645 
is  given  for  the  death  of  Richard  Awbrey,  husband  of  Anne 
Vaughan.  Jones,  however,  mentions  another  Richard,  father  of 
William,  who  died  in  1649;  but  there  is,  apparently,  a  mistake  in 
stating  that  there  were  two  Richards.  In  the  same  history  it  says, 
that  the  church,  consists  of  a  naive  and  chancel  &c.  Near  the  com- 
munion table,  on  a  stone,  the  letters  in  relief :

Richard  Awbrey  was  one  of  the  Awbrey's  of  Abercynrig,  he,  by

The  following  account  of  the  ancestry  of  Richard  Awbrey,  who 
married  a  daughter  of  Thomas  Gunter  of  Gilestone,  is  taken  from 
George  T.  Clark's  "  Limbus  Patrum  Morganiae  et  Glamorganiae," 
being  "  The  Genealogies  of  the  Older  Families  of  the  Lordships  of 
Morgan  and  Glamorgan."    London,  1866. 

Richard  Awbrey,  of  Abercynrig,  sold  that  estate  to  Dr.  William 
Awbrey.  He  married,  as  already  stated,  a  daughter  of  Thomas 
Gunter  of  Gilestone. 

The  Manor  of  Gilestone  was  given  to  Sir  Giles  Pierrepoint  by 
Bernard  Newmarch,  when  after  the  conquest  of  Breconshire,  in 
1088  to  1092,  he  distributed  the  conquered  domain  among  his  fol- 
lowers. To  Sir  Peter  Gunter  he  gave  the  manor  of  Tregunter  or 
Gunterstone.  To  Sir  Reginald  Awbrey  he  gave  the  manors  of  Aber- 
cynrig and  Slwch. 

According  to  the  "  History  of  Brecknockshire,"  by  Jones,  the  ancestry  of 
Thomas  Gunter  was  as  follows.  Thomas  Gunter  married  Gwladis  daughter 
of  Morgan  Ieuan  Morgan.  He  was  a  son  of  Howel  Gunter  who  married 
Margery  daughter  of  Richard  Lewis  of  Abercanaid,  who  was  a  son  of 
William  Gunter  who  married  Margaret  a  daughter  of  Thomas  Griffith  ap 
Owen,  who  was  a  son  of  Jenkin  Gunter  who  married  Margaret  daughter  of 
Gwilym  ap  Rhys  Llwyd,  who  was  a  son  of  William  Gunter  of  Gileston  who 
married  Lucy  daughter  of  Meredith  ap  Madoc  Havard,  son  of  Watkin 
Gunter  who  married  a  daughter  of  Pierrepoint  of  Gileston,  son  of  Richard 
Gunter  by  Cissil  daughter  of  Morgan  Bois,  son  of  John  Gunter,  son  of  Wil- 
liam Gunter,  son  of  Philip  Gunter,  son  of  William  Gunter,  son  of  William 
Gunter  who  married  Jennet  daughter  of  Sir  Richard  Bois,  son  of  Sir  Peter 
Gunter  by  Jane  daughter  of  Sir  Reginald  Awbrey,  living  1088. 

1  This  is  not  proved.  There  is,  at  present,  no  certainty  that  the  Awbreys  held  the 
Manor  of  Llanelieu.

who  is  stated  to  have  been  the  father  of  Walter  Awbrey  and  to  have  been 
Sheriff  of  Brecknockshire  in  1586  could  not  possibly  have  been  identical  with

John  Awbrey  of  Abercynfrig  is  said  to  have  married  a  daughter  of

Nest,  daughter  of  Owen  Gethyn  of  Glyn  Tawe.  He  was  a  son  of 
another  Thomas  Awbrey,  also  ranger  of  Brecknock  forest,  and 
ciistos  of  that  castle,  who  married  Joan,  daughter  of  Treharne  ap 
Einon.  Thomas  Awbrey  was  a  son  of  still  another  Thomas  Awbrey, 
who,  it  is  stated,  married  Joan,  a  daughter  of  John,  Lord  Carew. 
This  Thomas  was  a  son  of  William  de  Sto  Alberico,  or  Awbrey,  of 
Abercynfrig,  who  married  Joan,  daughter  of  Sir  William  Gunter. 
William  de  Sto  Alberico  was  a  son  of  Sir  Reginald  de  Sancto 
Alberico  who  was  a  companion  of  Bernard  Newmarch  in  the  con- 
quest of  Brecknock,  where  he  is  reputed  to  have  won  Abercynfrig 
and  Slwch,  and  who  married  Isabel,  daughter  of  Richard  de  Clare. 
Sir  Reginald  was  a  son  of  Saunders  de  Sancto  Alberico,  or  de  Alta 
Ripa,  who  is  said  to  have  been  a  brother  of  Alberic,  Earl  of  Bou- 
logne and  Danmartin  and  Earl  Fareschal  of  France,  in  1066. 

Clark  states  that  "  The  family  of  Awbrey  is  of  high  antiquity  in 
Brecknock."  The  earlier  descents  of  the  recorded  pedigree  are 
without  authority,  and  it  is  quite  evident  that  the  five  hundred  years 
intervening  between  the  founder  and  the  eighth  in  line  of  descent, 
could  not  have  been  spanned  by  the  number  of  generations  given. 
The  following  references  to  the  Awbrey  pedigree  may  be  noted. 

Notes  on  the  Awbrey  Pedigree.  Vol.  ii,  Lewis  Dwnn's  Visita- 
tions of  Wales,  page  40,  footnote  I : 

Vincent  (No.  136,  folio  867,  in  the  College  of  Arms)  gives  a  good  pedi- 
gree of  the  Awbrey  family  deduced  from  Saint  Awbrey  of  the  Blood  Royal 
of  France;  who  came  into  England  with  the  Conqueror  as  appears  by  an 
ancient  Chronicle  in  All  Souls'  College,  Oxford,  and  which  is  recited  in 
Debrett's  Baronetage. 

The  pedigree  of  the  Awbrey  family  as  given  in  the  "Llyfr 
Achau  "  included  in  Lewis  Dwnn's-  Welsh  Visitations,  Vol.  ii,  page 
57,  begins  as  follows  : 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN.  19 

"  Stiant  Awbrey,  a  second  brother  to  the  L.  awbrey  earlle  of  Bullen  and 
earle  Marchall  of  Ffraunce  ca.,  to  England  with  Wra,  ye  Conqueror  in  Anno 
Dom  1066." 

Whether  the  generations  are  correct  down  to  circa  1500,  or  not, 
the  fact  remains  that  the  origin  of  the  Awbrey  family  of  Brecknock- 
shire appears  to  have  been  in  the  overrunning  of  that  country  by 
one  of  the  followers  of  William  the  Conqueror,  a  Norman  named 
Alberico,  Awberico,  or  Awbrey,  whose  descendants  remained  in  the 
conquered  country. 

It  is  presumed  that  the  Awbrey's  of  Llanelieu,  became  seized  of 
lands  in  that  parish  through  the  marriage  of  Richard  Awbrey  with 
Ann,  one  of  the  daughters  and  co-heiresses  of  the  Vaughans.  The 
origin  of  this  Vaughan  family  appears  to  be  uncertain.  The  Welsh 
Herald  Lewis  Dwnn  deriving  them  from  one  prepositus,  while 
Theophilus  Jones  the  historian  of  Brecknockshire  states  that  they 
descend  from  an  illegitimate  offshoot  of  the  Vaughans  of  Porthaml 
in  Talgarth,  Brecknockshire,  who  were  a  branch  of  the  Vaughans  of 
Tretower,  who  were  from  Sir  Roger  Ivanc  or  Vychan,  "  the 
younger"  of  Bredwardine.  Both  accounts  will  be  given  with  the 
statements  that  accompany  them.

5  s. 

This  pedigree  was  signed  by  John  Vaughan,  Custom-house  officer  of  Mil- 
ford-haven;  the  herald  received  5  shillings  for  his  trouble  in  making  and 
entering  the  same  in  the  proper  book,  in  the  year  1591. 

So  much  for  the  account  as  given  in  Dwnn's  Visitations.  In  the 
Introduction  to  Vol.  i,  p.  xxv,  there  is  the  following  comment  on  the 
general  accuracy  of  Lewis  Dwnn.  It  might  be  well  to  state  before 
quoting  that  these  two  volumes  were  edited  by  Sir  Samuel  Rush 
Meyrick,  Knt.,  of  Goodrich  Court,  Gwent  is  Coed,  1846: 

Page  xxv:  "Indeed,  it  is  the  reputation  for  accuracy  which  Lewis  Dwnn's 
Visitations  possess  generally  in  the  Principality,  that  has  induced  the  Welsh 
Manuscripts  Society  to  give  them  preference  of  publication  to  the  pedigrees 
of  Ievan  Brechva  &c." 

"  Mr.  Morris  of  Shrewsbury,  speaking  of  the  South  Wales  Collection,  says : 
"  I  have  had  several  opportunities  of  testing  Lewys  Dunn's  pedigrees,  by 
deeds  and  other  authentic  records,  and  have  always  found  them  singularly 
correct,  notwithstanding  the  apparent  barbarism  of  his  spelling.  The  pedigree 
page  127  is  an  instance.  Theophilus  Jones,  in  his  History  of  Breconshire, 
speaks  of  the  Vaughans  of  Tyle  Glas,  &c,  but  does  not  (for  he  probably  had 
not  the  means  of  doing  so)  shew  their  descent,  which  Lewys  Dwnn  clearly 
traces,  from  an  offset  of  the  family  of  Stanely,  Earls  of  Derby,  that  had 
settled  in  South  Wales." 

On  the  other  hand  it  would  seem  from  the  account  by  Theophilus 
Jones,  as  if  the  family  desired  to  cover  up  the  statement  that  the 
line  of  descent  was  from  an  illegitimate  son  of  a  Vaughan  family. 
Perhaps  for  that  reason  the  device  of  a  Cornish  chough  with  an 
ermine  spot  in  its  beak,  was  chosen.  As  it  will  be  seen,  one  of  the 
alliances  is  with  the  family  of  Llewelyn  ap  Gruffydd  of  Ruthin,  who 
was  probably  descended  from  Llowarch  ab  Bran,  whose  arms  are 
those  quartered  by  John  Vaughan,  the  Custom  House  Officer. 


22  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

Jones  in  his  account  of  Llanelieu,  in  a  footnote,  says:  "This 
William  Vaughan  (i.  e.,  the  father  of  Anne  who  married  Richard 
Awbrey)  was  descended  from  Robert  Vaughan,  a  natural  son  of  the 
first  Roger  Vaughan  of  Porthaml,  who  in  his  will  made  in  the  early 
part  of  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  is  described  to  be  of  Saint  Keline's. 
On  page  365,  in  the  account  of  the  parish  of  Llanigon  Jones  states : 

"  At  a  little  distance  south  west  of  the  village  commences  the  hamlet  called 
Cilonw  in  which  are  the  ruins  of  an  old  chapel.  This  is  probably  a  cor- 
ruption of  Celin,  a  saint  of  the  sixth  century,  and  son  of  Caw  ap  Geraint 
ap  Erbin,  who  was  driven  out  of  the  North  of  England  by  the  Picts,  and 
settled  an  Anglesa,  for  in  1576  I  find  a  Robert  Vaughan,  who  describes  him- 
self in  his  will  to  be  of  the  parish  of  St.  Kellines  and  desires  to  be  buried  at 
Llanelieu,  in  which  parish  part  of  his  estate  lay,  his  youngest  son  was  Thomas 
Vaughan,  to  whom  he  devises  as  follows,  "  I  give  to  Thomas  Vaughan  all 
the  corn  growing  on  my  lands  in  Llanelieu  and  all  the  remainder  of  my 
goods  excepting  my  chaire  my  gowne  and  nine  pieces  (pieces  of  writing)  of 
evidence  concerning  the  lands  in  Llanelieu,  being  in  the  hands  of  my  son 
John  Vaughan  to  persue  them  which  he  promised  to  deliver  to  me,  and  which 
I  further  will  to  be  delivered  to  my  eldest  son  William  Vaughan,  who  hath 
a  right  thereunto,  whereof  some  of  the  evidences  bere  date  in  king  Edward 
the  third's  time.  "  From  this  request  to  be  buried  in  Llanelieu,  it  should 
seem  that  the  church  or  chapel  of  Saint  Celin's  was  either  fallen  or  in  ruins 
in  his  time." 

This  Robert  Vaughan  was,  of  course,  the  grandfather  of  Anne 
who  married  Richard  Awbrey.  If  Jones  is  correct,  then  this  Robert 
Vaughan  was  either  of  Bronllys  or  of  Tregunter.  Llanelieu  is  a 
short  distance  to  the  east  of  Talgarth.  In  the  latter  place  is 
Tregunter.  About  a  mile  to  the  west  of  Talgarth  is  Bronllys,  which 
is  about  three  miles  from  Llanelieu.  The  first  Sir  Roger  Vaughan 
of  Porthaml  in  Talgarth  was  an  M.P.,  for  Brecknockshire  in  1547, 
1552,  53,  54,  58,  and  knighted  about  1550.  He  had  six  legitimate 
children  and  four  base.  (Clark's  Glamorgan  Genealogies  gives  him 
seven  legitimate  children.)  Of  the  base  issue,  there  were  two  sons 
named  alike.     Robert  of  Bronllys  and  Robert  of  Tregunter. 

Sir  Roger  Vaughan  was  the  second  son  of  Sir  Roger  Vaughan  of 
Tretower,  county  Brecon,  Lord  of  Cantreff-Seliff,  Penkelly,  Merthr- 
Cynog,  Llandrimore,  in  Gower,  Llanvachan  and  Pencoed  in  Cantreff- 
Seliff.  Sir  Roger  Vaughan  of  Tretower  married  first,  Denise, 
daughter  of  Thomas  ap  Philip  Vaughan  of  Tyle-Glas.  As  the 
Vaughans  of  Tyle-Glas  were  thus  connected  with  the  Vaughans  of 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN.  23 

Tretower  and  Porthaml,  it  is  possible  as  has  already  been  stated, 
that  the  Vaughans  of  Llanelieu  claimed  in  the  male  line  from  the 
Vaughans  of  Tyle-Glas  to  cover  their  descent  from  the  illegitimate 
branch  of  the  Vaughans  of  Porthaml. 

In  the  Index  Library,  British  Records  Society,  there  is  an  Index 
of  wills  probated  at  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  from  the 
earliest  to  1583.  In  the  list  is  the  following.  1523.  Gilbert,

According  to  the  pedigree  of  the  Yaughans  as  given  in  Dwnn's 
Visitations  and  referred  to  above,  the  mother  of  Sioned  (Johan) 
Gilbert  was  Joan  Pye.  This  statement  seems  to  be  distinct  and  con- 
clusive. One  reading  of  the  will  would  seem  to  indicate  that  both 
daughters  of  the  name  of  Johan  were  by  the  last  wife  or  Gwenllyaiv 
Scudamore.    Nicholas  Gilbert  undoubtedly  had  a  wife  named  Johan 


AWBREY-VAUGHAN.  25 

Appye,  or  Pye,  by  whom  he  had  issue.  Having  two  daughters  of 
the  same  name,  would  seem  to  indicate  that  one  was  by  the  first  wife 
and  the  other  by  the  last  wife.  Certainly,  John  Vaughan  who  signed 
the  pedigree  would  know  the  name  of  his  grandmother.  According 
to  the  Visitations  of  Herefordshire,  made  in  1569,  Richard  Minors 
of  Pengarson  Green  "  in  ye  parish  of  Garaway  in  county  Hereford" 
married  Margaret  daughter  of  Nicholas  Gilbert  of  Llancilo  in 
county  Hereford.  Margaret  does  not  appear  in  the  will  as  the 
name  of  a  daughter.  It  may  be  a  mistake  for  Ellinor.  The  name  of 
her  mother  is  not  given  in  the  Visitation  pedigree. 

THE  PROVED  PEDIGREE  OF  MARTHA  AWBREY. 

The  following  chart  compiled  from  the  foregoing  data  shows  that  Mr. 
Lloyd's  notes  do  not  agree  with  the  heretofore  accepted  pedigree  of  Martha 
Awbrey,  wife  of  Rees  Thomas  of  Merion,  as  contributed  to  the  Pennsylvania 
Magazine  of  Hist,  and  Biog.  (Vol.  XIII)  by  Mr.  George  Vaux,  nor  with 
that  by  Jones  in  his  "  History  of  Brecnockshire,"  and  Clark's  version  of  the 
latter  compilation.     The  facts  are  these : 

(a)  There  is  at  present  no  evidence  produced  to  prove  that  Richard 
Awbrey  of  the  parish  of  Llaneleu,  who  resided  in  a  house  also  so  called,  who 
died  before  4  November,  1646,  and  who,  unquestionably,  was  the  father  of 
William  Awbrey  of  Hore  More,  in  the  parish  of  Llaneleu  (will  dated  4  No- 
vember, 1646)  is  identical  with  the  Richard  Awbrey  who  married,  supposedly 
about  1550-1560,  Anne,  daughter  of  William  Vaughan,  eldest  son  and  heir  of 
Robert  Vaughan  of  the  parish  of  St.  Kellines,  a  part  of  whose  estate  lay  in 
Llaneleu,  or  that  he  was  the  same  Richard  who  died  1645,  whose  tomb  is  at 
Llaneleu  Church.  According  to  Clark  and  others,  Richard  and  Anne  Awbrey 
had  William,  eldest  son  and  heir,  and  Richard,  who  died  in  1649.  The  latter 
is  stated  by  the  same  author  to  have  been  the  grandfather  of  Elizabeth 
Awbrey  who  married  William  Awbrey,  son  of  Thomas,  son  of  a  William 
Awbrey.  Who  this  last  William  was  is  not  clearly  indicated,  but  Thomas  is 
stated  to  have  died  in  1669.  The  Vaughans  did  not  own  all  of  the  parish  of 
Llaneleu ;  only  certain  lands  there.  It  is  not  ascertained  that  they  held 
Llaneleu  Mansion.  Robret  Vaughan,  the  grandfather  of  Ann,  wife  of 
Richard  Awbrey,  is  described  in  the  Visitations  as  of  Tyleglass,  and  in  his 
will  of  1576,  he  calls  himself  of  the  parish  of  St.  Kellines.  William  Vaughan, 
however,  is  called  of  Llaneleu  in  1591,  and  certainly  inherited  lands  in  that 
parish.  Of  course  if  it  could  be  shown  that  the  lands  named  in  the  will  of 
William  Awbrey  of  Hore  Moor  (dated  4  November,  1646)  had  once  belonged 
to  William  Vaughan,  the  case  would  be  simplified.  Doubt,  however,  would 
remain  as  to  whether  William  Awbrey  (will  1646)  was  the  son,  grandson, 
or  nephew  of  the  Richard  who  married  Ann  Vaughan;  the  evidence  points 
to  his  being  a  grandson.

(b)  Elizabeth  Awbrey,  according  to  the  legal  phraseology  of  that  day  was 
the  "  reputed  daughter  "  of  William  Awbrey  of  Hore  Moor,  parish  of  Llane- 
leu,  and  is  so  described  in  her  father's  will  of  4  November,  1646,  which  is  to 
say  that  she  was  illegitimate,  and  had  been  adopted.  Hence  the  action  at 
law  to  upset  the  will.     See  legal  proceedings  in  Chancery. 

(c)  The  ancestry  of  William  Awbrey  of  Llaneleu,  the  father  of  Martha. 
wife  of  Rees  Thomas,  is  uncertain  beyond  his  father,  Thomas,  who,  accord- 
ing to  Clark,  died  1669.  The  statement  that  he  was  a  cousin  of  Elizabeth 
Awbrey,  his  wife,  rests  on  the  faintest  tradition,  and  might  have  originally 
meant  quite  a  distant  kinship.  The  statement  by  Clark  is  the  most  probable 
one. 

All  that  is  certain  regarding  Martha  Awbrey's  ancestry,  in  the  light  of  Mr. 
Llovd's  research,  is  as  follows :

BLUNSTON 


BLUNSTON. 

John  Blunston,  Jr.,  son  of  John  Blunston  and  Sarah  Bicker- 
staffe,  was  born  in  Darby,  6th  month  29th,  1685,  and  died  there  8th 
month  3rd,  1716. 

On  9th  month  12th,  1707,  at  Darby  Friends'  Meeting  House,  he 
married  Ann  Hunt.  She  was  born  12th  month  14th,  1688,  in 
Kingsessing,  Philadelphia  County,  and  died  in  Darby,  1st  month  26th, 
175 1,  and  was  daughter  of  James  Hunt,  of  Kingsessing  by  his  second 
wife  Elizabeth  Bonsall  (widow),  of  Darby. 

After  the  death  of  John  Blunston,  Jr.,  his  widow  married,  12th 
month,  1719,  Nathan  Gibson  (by  a  magistrate;  Darby  Monthly 
Meeting  Minutes).  He  died  2nd  month  15th,  1757.  The  children 
of  Nathan  Gibson  and  Ann  Blunston,  widow,  were :  Joshua,  born 
1st  month  30th,  1720,  David,  born  9th  month,  30th,  1721,  and  Ann, 
born  nth  month  22nd,  1729/30. 

John  Blunston,  Jr.,  was  a  farmer,  and  is  designated  "  yeoman  " 
in  the  notice  of  his  marriage  in  Darby  Monthly  Meeting  books. 
Like  his  father  was  interested  in  public  affairs. 

By  Act  of  Assembly  passed  in  1696,  it  was  provided  that  at  the 
time  of  election  of  members  of  Assembly,  six  persons  should  be 
chosen  for  assessors  in  each  county.  In  1710,  John  Blunston,  Jr., 
and  five  others  were  chosen  for  Chester  County,  and  were  to 
receive  four  shillings  per  day  for  their  services.  (Futhey  &  Cope's 
"  History  of  Chester  Co.,"  p.  376.)  On  May  13th,  1713,  he  was 
commissioned  with  seven  others,  one  of  the  Justices  of  the  Peace 
for  Chester  County,  and  again  on  May  30th  and  June  nth,  1715. 
These  last  appointments  being  necessary  on  account  of  the  death  of 
Queen  Anne  and  the  accession  of  George  I.,  who  was  crowned  on 
the  20th  of  October,  1714. 

On  October  14th,  1713,  John  Blunston,  Jr.,  and  seven  others  were 
elected  to  represent  Chester  County  in  the  Assembly  which  met 
yearly  on  the  20th  of  the  Second  month  (April).  He  was  re-elected 
on  October  15th,  1716,  but  in  the  meantime  died,  and  a  writ  for 
electing  some  one  in  his  place  was  issued  8th  month  16th,   171 6.

John  Blunston  was  born  in  England,  in  the  year  1644.  i\n 
account  of  him  was  prepared  by  one  of  his  descendants,  and 
printed  in  a  Darby,  Pennsylvania,  newspaper,  in  1893.  This  article 
is  so  complete  that  it  is  here  quoted  almost  in  full,  with  additions 
and  notes  from  data  lately  acquired.  A  few  corrections  have  also 
been  made.

Bunting. 

John  Blunston. 

Upon  the  receipt  of  the  royal  Charter  for  his  Province  of  Penn- 
sylvania, in  1681,  William  Penn  immediately  published  it  together 
with  a  description  and  account  of  the  new  country,  offering  favor- 
able and  easy  terms  for  the  sale  of  land  and  in  every  way  possible 
encouraged  emigration,  not  however  without  caution  and  kindly 
advice  to  those  who  might  hastily  or  rashly  decide  to  brave  the 
hardships  of  a  new  and  savage  land. 

Purchasers  soon  appeared,  among  these  a  number  who  formed  a 
Company  and  received  "  divers  Immunities  and  Priviledges  by 
Grant  and  Charter  from  William  Penn  the  Governour  of  that 
Province." 

Tli is  was  the  noted  Free  Society  of  Traders,  which,  as  they 
themselves  say  in  their  printed  Articles,  was  "  a  very  Unusual 
Society,  for  it  is  an  Absolute  Free  One,  and  in  a  Free  Country:  a 
Society  without  Oppression;  where  in  all  may  be  concerned  that 
wilt:  and  yet  have  the  same  Liberty  of  private  Traffique,  as  though 
there  were  no  Society  at  all." 

Among  the  early  subscribers  to  this  Society  was  "John  Blunston 
darbieshire,  W.S.— £  50."  under  date  of  April  26,  1682.     In  the  fol-

lowing  July  he,  being  a  Friend,  obtained  a  certificate  of  removal 
from  his  Monthly  Meeting,  and  with  his  family  and  other  Friends 
embarked  for  the  new  world.  A  copy  of  this  certificate  is  pre- 
served in  the  original  book  of  minutes  of  Darby  Monthly  Meeting 
of  Friends  and  is  as  follows :

The  exact  date  of  his  arrival  in  Darby  is  not  known,  but  it  is 
probable  that  he  came  some  time  before  the  Proprietor.  He  had 
purchased  in  England  from  William  Penn  1500  acres  of  land  by 
papers  of  Lease  and  Release  dated  April  10-11,  1682.  Portions  of 
this  purchase  were  "  Surveyed  and  laid  out  the  10th  of  the  7th  mo.. 
1682,  by  virtue  of  a  warrant  from  Captain  Markham  and  Comm'rs 
dated  24th  of  6th  mo.,  1682.  These  were  two  tracts  one  of  350  and 
the  other  of  150  acres.  The  former  embraced  the  land  now  bounded 
by  Darby  creek,  First  avenue,  Church  lane  and  Bunting  street, 
together  with  a  tract  of  100  acres  on  the  west  side  of  Blunston's 
run  and  Mill  or  Cobb's  creek.  A  portion  of  this  purchase  is  still 
owned  and  occupied  by  some  of  his  descendants.  The  second  tract 
was  situated  directly  on  the  north  of  the  present  boundary  line 
between  Darby  and  Upper  Darby  Townships  and  extended  from 
Darby  creek  to  Cobb's  creek.  Other  portions  of  this  purchase  of 
150  acres  were  surveyed  and  laid  out  in  other  portions  of  the  county 
in  the  next  subsequent  years. 

The  following  is  not  found  in  Mr.  Bunting's  article. 

From  Henry  Graham  Ashmead's  "  History  of  Delaware  County," 
page  532,  Upper  Darby  Township.  "At  the  southwestern  limit  of 
the  township  was  a  tract  of  150  acres,  to  which  the  name  '  Primos'

was  given  on  July  12th,  1683,  and  was  surveyed  to  John  Blunston, 
which  subsequently,  June  6th,  1688,  became  the  property  of  Thomas 
Hood."    To  resume  the  narrative  from  the  "  Progress." 

An  examination  of  old  deeds  shows  that  John  Blunston  very  often 
acted  as  Attorney  for  owners  in  England,  for  the  sale  and  transfer 
of  their  lands  in  Pennsylvania. 

It  has  been  stated  that  John  Blunston  was  a  member  of  the  Gov- 
ernor's Council,  which  met  at  Chester  10th  month  (Dec.)  4th,  1682, 
but  we  have  been  able  to  find  no  proof  of  this,  no  record  of  the 
members  having  been  kept.  He  was  however  a  member  of  the 
Second  Assembly,  which  met  in  Philadelphia  on  the  12th  of  March 
of  the  following  year.  The  new  Frame  of  Government  of  the 
Province  prepared  by  Penn  was  laid  before  this  Council  and  Assem- 
bly and  accepted  by  them  on  the  30th  of  the  same  month.  John 
Blunston's  name  appears  in  the  list  of  the  members  of  Assembly 
present  at  the  time.  He  was  elected  again  in  1684,  as  the  following 
copy  of  the  return  made  by  the  Sheriff  of  the  election  for  Chester 
County  shows: 

"  I  have  accordingly  made  my  Summons  of  the  free  holders  who  hath 
made  Choise  of  those  persons  following  for  the  purpose  aforesaid  by  which 
I  thus  make  my  return  for  the  provincial  Concil. 


For  Assembly,  John  Blunston,  

I  Heare  Declare  that  they  was  Lafully  Chosen  and  may  freely  Appear  to 
make  up  an  Assembly  according  to  Charter,  in  witness  whereunto  I  sett  my 
hand  and  seall  the  10th  3d  month,  1684. 

Th.  Withers  " 

In  1685  occurred  the  impeachment  of  Nicholas  Moore,  a  member 
of  Assembly  and  Provincial  Judge,  for  mal-practices.  At  the  hear- 
ing before  the  Council,  John  Blunston  was  one  of  the  six  members 
of  the  Assembly  appointed  to  represent  that  body.  John  Blunston's 
name  appears  as  member  of  Assembly  in  1686-87-88.  It  is  probable 
that  he  was  a  member  of  the  Council  in  1689  for  we  find  that  in 
1690,  "  John  Blunston  having  declined  to  serve  any  longer  as  a  mem- 
ber of  Council  from  Chester  County,  William  Howell  was  elected 
to  serve  in  his  stead." 

He  was  again  elected  to  the  Assembly  in  1695,  l^9^  an<3  I70I>  an(l 
was  speaker  of  that  body  in  1697,  1699  and  1700.

Chester  County. 

In  1 70 1  it  became  necessary  for  Penn  to  return  a  second  time  to 
England  to  look  after  the  security  of  his  title  to  Pennsylvania  which 
had  been  threatened  in  Parliament.  Before  leaving  he  granted  a 
Charter  of  Privileges  and  appointed  a  Council  of  State  to  assist  him 
and  his  Deputies  in  the  government  of  the  Province.  John  Blun- 
ston was  one  of  this  Council.

Recorded   in  the  Rolls   Office  at   Philadelphia,   in   Patent  Book  A,   vol.   2. 
page  154,  155,  this  nth  of  9th  month,  1701. 

By  me,  Thos.  Story 

At  a  meeting  of  The  Provincial  Council,  held  at  Philadelphia,  on 
the  4th  of  3rd  month,  1703,  John  Blunston  was  present;  his  name 
appears,  recorded  as  being  present  at  the  different  meetings  of  the 
Council,  down  to  and  including  that  of  the  19th  of  6th  month,  1704. 

On  the  2d  of  3d  month,  1683,  a  Grand  Jury  of  which  John  Blun- 
ston was  a  member,  was  summoned  on  the  case  of  one  Pickering  and 
two  confederates,  who  had  made  and  circulated  counterfeit  coin. 
This,  Proud  says,  was  the  first  Grand  Jury  summoned  in  Pennsyl- 
vania. Dr.  Smith  denies  this,  and  with  reason,  for  there  is  a  record 
of  a  Grand  Jury  being  summoned,  to  attend  the  Upland  Court  held 
at  1 2th  of  September,  1682. 

The  first  Court  of  Equity  for  Chester  County  was  held  in  1686. 
John  Blunston  was  one  of  the  Justices,  as  the  following  record 
shows : 

Att  a  Court  of  Equity  held  at  Chester  the  5th  day  in  the  1st  week  of  the 
ioth  month,   1686, 
Commissioners  present, — 

John  Blunston,  John  Simcocke,  George  Maris,  Bartholomew  Coppock,  Samuel 
Levis,  Robert  Wade,  Robert  Pile,— Robert  Eyre,  Clerk. 


BLUNSTON.  39 

John  Blunston  was  re-appointed  Commissioner  for  Chester 
County  ist  month  19th,  1689  and  again  in  1690.  He  also  held  the 
position  in  1697,  as  a  deed  bearing  date  "9th  day  of  the  4th  mo., 
called  June,  An.  Dom.  1697"  was  acknowledged  to  "John  Sime- 
cocke,  John  Blunston,  Samuel  Levis,  Jasper  yeates  and  Jonathan 
Hayes,  the  Justices  of  the  County,  for  all  that  piece  of  land  whereon 
the  new  Court  House  stands,  contayning  in  breadth  to  street 
twenty-nine  foot  back  to  Chester  creek,  unto  them  and  their  suck- 
sessors  for  ever." 

John  Blunston  held  the  position  of  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  many 
years,  the  following  dates  of  appointments  are  given,  June  19th, 
1684,  April  6th,  1685,  November  2d,  1689. 

In  1698  he  still  held  this  position,  for  in  that  year  Richard  Bonsall 
having  interposed  objections  to  the  marriage  of  his  daughter  Ann  to 
Josiah  Hibberd,  the  monthly  meeting  appointed  a  committee  to  see 
Richard  and  learn  his  reasons.  These  were  evidently  satisfactory, 
for  the  Committee  "  having  spoke  to  Richard  Bonsall  ye  reasons 
which  he  gave  was  satisfaction  to  ye  meeting  at  present." 

Josiah  and  Ann,  however,  nothing  daunted,  immediately  went  be- 
fore John  Blunston,  Justice  of  the  Peace,  himself  a  pillar  in  the 
meeting,  and  at  his  house  on  the  9th  of  the  9th  month  were  united 
in  marriage. 

At  the  next  monthly  meeting  a  committee  was  named  "  to  speak 
to  Josiah  Hibberd  and  Ann  his  wife  to  se  what  satisfaction  they  will 
Give  to  ffriends  belonging  to  this  meeting  for  there  Missdemenor 
and  to  bring  there  returns  to  the  next  monthly  meeting."  The  rea- 
sons given  by  the  couple  were  accepted  by  the  meeting,  and  it  does 
not  appear  that  any  blame  whatever  was  attached  to  John  Blunston 
for  the  part  he  took  in  the  affair. 

In  1687,  tne  year  m  which  was  laid  out  the  road  from  Darby  to 
Haverford,  the  Provincial  Council  ordered  Barnabas  Wilcox,  Thos. 
Duckett,  with  John  Blunston  and  Joshua  Fearne,  "  to  view  or  agree 
upon  a  convenient  road  from  Darby  to  ye  ferry  of  Philadelphia." 

The  following  is  from  Futhey  and  Cope's  "  Chester  County." 

"There  had  been  a  dispute  about  the  division  of  the  'Welsh  Tract,'  the 
Welsh  claiming  that  they  had  a  separate  '  Barony/  or  grant  of  land,  in  which 
they  had  the  right  to  make  their  own  laws  &c.  This  right  had  been  set  aside, 
and  the  tract  divided." 


40  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

The  Welsh  declined  to  recognize  the  division  that  had  been  made 
previously,  and  this  led  to  the  following  proceedings : 
In  Council,  I,  25,  1689: 

The  Secretary  produced  a  Petition  ffrom  severall  Justices  and  Inhabitants  of 
ye  County  of  Chester,  directed  to  ye  Govr'  and  Councill.  The  Gover'  asked 
by  whom  Subscribed :  'twas  answered  by  none.  He  replyed  He  should  not 
receive  it  without  a  Subscription :  it  was  delivered  to  ye  persons  who  at- 
tended about  it.  They  Subscribed  it.  The  Gover  then  directed  ;'t  to  be  read : 
it  was  read :  ye  Coppy  Thereoff  followeth,

themselves  and  Inhabitants  of  ye  said  County  Sheweth  That  whereas  ye  said 
County  is  but  a  Small  tract  of  Land,  not  above  9  miles  Square,  &  but  Thinly 
seated,  whereby  ye  said  County  is  not  able  to  support  the  Charge  thereoff; 
Yppon  our  humble  Request  to  the  Proprietor  &  Gover'r,  and  his  Serious 
Consideration  of  our  weak  Condition,  was  pleased  out  of  Compassion  to  us, 
to  grant  an  Enlargement  of  ye  same,  in  manner  ffollowing  viz  to  runn  up

untill  they  took  in  Radnor  and  Herford  Townshipps ;  Then  downe  to  ye 
Skoolkill;  Then  vpwards  along  the  severall  Courses  thereoff  without  Limmitt. 
"  Therefore,  wee  humbly  pray  you  will  be  pleased  to  Confirme  ye  said  bounds, 
whereby  the  County  of  Chester  may  be  in  some  measure  able  to  defray  their 
necessary  Charge,  and  wee  shall,  as  in  duty  bound,  &c.

"  The  Gover'r  demanded  of  ye  Petitioners  how  they  would  make  out  their 
alligations.  They  began  to  relate  some  passages  wch  had  passed  ffrom  ye 
Proprietor  about  settling  the  bounds  of  ye  County  of  Chester.  The  Gover'r 
Directed  them  to  withdraw,  and  putt  what  they  had  to  say  and  Could  depose 
into  writeing;  they  wrent  forth  and  brought  in  their  severall  attestations  fol- 
lowing, wch  were  read,  viz : 

"  I,  John  Blunstone,  as  in  relation  to  ye  Devision  of  Chester,  County  ffrom 
Philadelphia,  doe  thus  testifie,  that  a  few  days  before  Gover'r  Penn  left  this 
Province,  that  vpon  ye  bank  by  John  Simcock's  house,  I  moved  him  to 
Deside  this  matter  that  had  been  so  long  Discoursed,  who  then,  before  me 
and  Others,  did  Declare  that  ye  bounds  Should  thus  runn  ffrom  the  mouth

from  thence  to  the  Skoolkill,  and  take  in  his  mannour  of  Springtowne,  by 
wch  our  Pattents  Holds;

structed I  am  not  certaine,  but  yt  ye  Gover'r  Departed  about  two  days  after:" 

"  was  signed  John  Blunston." 

Several  other  depositions  were  presented,  signed  by  Rand'll  Ver- 
non, Thomas  Ysher  (Usher),  and  others.  This  Welsh  Tract  dispute 
lasted  for  some  years,  but  was  at  last  decided  adversely  to  the  Welsh. 

Such  are  some  of  the  records  which  relate  to  the  public  services  of 
John  Blunston,  and  from  these  it  will  be  seen  that  he  must  have  been 
a  man  of  some  education,  of  weight  in  the  community  and  worthy 
of  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens.  All  great  men,  it  is  said,  have 
their  enemies,  and  so  perhaps  the  following  incident  may  add  addi- 
tional evidence  to  our  knowledge  of  the  regard  in  which  he  was  held. 

It  appears  from  the  minutes  of  Darby  Monthly  Meeting  (1708) 
that  a  member  brought  a  complaint  against  John  Blunston  before  a 
certain  meeting,  which  however  had  but  little  weight,  as  the  follow- 
ing minute  indicates : 

"  The  meeting  having  used  Endeavors  with  ...  to  acknowledge  and  make 
satisfaction  for  a  disorderly  Charge  broaght  into  this  meeting  against  John 
Blunston  Insinuating  as  he  in  a  Quarterly  meeting  has  said  he  hated  Evidence 
and  he  the  said  .  .  .  further  added  that  he  was  not  fit  to  be  Concerned 
neither  in  Church  or  State  and  it  being  an  offence  to  the  Church  and 
though  the  meeting  have  Labored  with  him  acknowledg  his  wrong  done  he 
still  refuses  to  doo  it;  Therefore  this  meeting  doe  testifie  against  the  said 
...  to  be  out  of  Unity  with  the  meeting  till  he  doo  acknowledg  and  Condemn 
his  Charg  to  the  satisfaction  of  this  monthly  meeting." 

The  early  history  of  Darby  Meeting  is  closely  connected  with  that 
of  John  Blunston.  The  early  meetings,  beginning  in  all  probability 
in  1682  (though  there  are  no  minutes  before  the  2d  day  of  the  5th 
month,  1684),  and  continuing  up  to  1688,  were  held  at  his  house, 
which  is  said  to  have  stood  near  the  mill  race,  about  opposite  the 
present  meeting  property. 

He  was  very  often  employed  by  his  monthly  meeting  to  represent 
it  in  the  Quarterly  meetings,  and  as  a  member  of  important  com- 
mittees, &c. 

He  also  appeared  in  the  ministry,  and  is  said  to  have  had  a 
"lively  gift"  in  that  direction;  there  is  however  no  record  of  his 
traveling  with  certificates  or  minutes  from  his  meeting.  He  was 
present  at  a  meeting  of  Ministers  in  Philadelphia  in  1719,  a  few 
years  before  his  death.     He  was  also  often  employed  in  Yearly 


42  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

meeting  appointments  and  other  society  matters.  In  1692  the 
minutes  of  the  Ministering  Friends  say  he  stood  firm  against  the 
spirit  of  division  as  manifested  in  George  Keith  and  his  adherents, 
and  his  name  is  attached  to  the  "Declaration,  or  Testimony  of 
Denial,"  which  was  drawn  up  against  Keith,  at  a  meeting  of  Min- 
isters in  Philadelphia,  in  the  4th  month  of  that  year. 

John  Blunston  was  opposed  to  the  institution  of  negro  slavery 
and,  it  is  said,  "  did  his  utmost  to  prepare  Friends  for  an  extension 
of  the  testimony  against  that  inquitous  practice,  yet  he  lived  in  love 
with  his  brethren  who  had  not  seen  so  far  as  he  had." 

In  1687  John  Blunston  acknowledged  a  deed  in  open  Court  "  for 
one  acre  of  land  in  the  township  of  Darby,  to  build  a  meeting  house 
thereon,  to  the  use  of  the  said  township  forever,  to  exercise  the 
true  worship  of  God  therein." 

In  1702,  he,  by  deed  dated  5th  day  of  6th  month,  conveyed  3^4 
acres  of  land  to  Edmund  Cardlidge,  Thos.  Worth,  Michael  Blun- 
ston and  John  Wood.  This  must  have  included  the  grant  of  1687, 
and  is  the  ground  now  occupied  by  the  graveyard  and  school.  The 
first  burial  recorded  on  the  Darby  Meeting  books  was  that  of 
"  Georg  WTood,  sonne  of  Georg  Wood  and  Anne  his  wife,  deceased 
ye  7th  day  of  10  mo.  1682,  and  was  buried  in  ye  burying  place  in 
Darby." 

This  burying  place  was  probably  the  same  ground  which  was 
afterwards  conveyed  in  the  deed  of  1687,  and  later  in  the  deed  of 
1702,  and  in  early  times  was  evidently  used  as  a  burial  ground  for 
all,  whether  Friends  or  not.  The  following  minute  seems  to  indi- 
cate this : 

"  Att  a  monthly  meeting  at  Darby  the  6th  day  of  the  9th  mo.  1705  It  being 
Layed  before  the  yearly  meeting  by  the  Quarterly  meeting  of  Philadelphia 
how  much  they  are  Grieved  and  disatisfied  with  Grave  Stone  and  monuments 
over  or  about  the  Graves  in  ffriends  Buring  Grounds,  this  meeting  takeing  the 
matter  into  there  consideration  doo  find  it  as  their  Sence  and  Judgment  that 
it  is  altogether  wrong  and  of  evill  Tendency  for  to  have  any  Grave  Stones  or 
any  other  sort  of  monument  over  or  about  the  Graves  in  any  of  ffriends 
Buring  Grounds  and  further  that  those  monuments  that  are  already  in  the 
Buring  Grounds  Either  of  Wood  or  Stone  shall  be  taken  away  and  no  new 
put  up.  But  to  be  as  sparing  as  ffriends  Well  can  for  those  who  were 
not  ffriends  and  put  up  before  the  buring  ground  was  solely  Confirmed  to 
ffriends."

The  family  of  John  Blunston  on  his  arrival  in  Pennsylvania  con- 
sisted of  his  wife  Sarah,  and  two  daughters,  Sarah  and  Katharine.

This  Elinor  Branton,  or  Brantnon,  was  the  first  wife  of  John 
Blnnston,  and  she  died  prior  to  1682.  There  is  recorded,  in  Lon- 
don, the  death  or  rather  burial  of  an  Elinor  Branton,  at  Breach 
House,  nth  month  5th,  1676.  This  may  be  intended  for  the  wife  of 
John  Blunston,  but  if  so  it  seems  peculiar  that  her  married  name 
was  not  given.1 

John  Blunston's  second  wife  was  Sarah  Bickerstaff,  as  appears 
by  an  examination  of  the  "  Pemberton  Papers"  (original  corre- 
spondence), preserved  at  The  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania. 
The  exact  date  and  place  of  marriage  has  not  been  ascertained. 

In  Vol.  ii  of  the  above  Papers,  page  120,  there  is  a  letter  from 
Samuel  Bowne  of  Flushing,  Long  Island,  to  Phineas  Pemberton, 
dated  10th  month  29th,  1695,  or  to  give  it  as  it  is  in  the  original, 
"  29th  of  10th  mo,  1695." 

He  speaks  of  the  death  of  his  father,  and  writes  as  follows : 

"  My  dear  father  was  taken  sick  at  New  York  about  ye  5th  day  of  10th  mo. 
and  being  desirous  to  get  to  his  own  house  we  brought  him  over  ye  river 
safely  but  not  finding  him  fit  to  be  carried  farther  he  remained  in  the  house 
of  Richard  Gibs  hat  maker  ...  ye  20th  of  ye  same  month  he  finished  his 
corse  .  .  .  buryed  by  his  father  ...  we  find  a  will  which  was  made  in  the 
time  of  his  last  widdohod  (wid-ower)  which  I  suppose  will  be  as  no  will  he 
having  since  a  wife  and  one  child  and  she  near  to  be  delivered  of  another 
for  whom  there  is  no  reserve.  We  have  just  now  finished  takeing  Inventory 
&  priseing  ye  estate  now  in  ye  last  will  lohn  Ro  (torn)  and  uncle  John 
Blonstone  were  guardians  to  my  (torn)  brother  and  trustees  t )  the  will. 
John  Rodman  has  the  will  and  is  loath  any  thing  should  be  done  till  uncle 
comes  and  my  wife  &  I  greatly  desires  thee  to  come  with  him,  my  dear  wife 
writ  to  send  by  uncle  blonston.  .  .  . 
Vly  dear  friend  Thomas  Musgrove  came  to  ye  burial.

wee  all  are  at  this  time,  blessed  be  ye  Lord  for  his  mercy  which  we  have

thou  must  do  as  well  as  thou  canst  for  him  for  it  is  most  yt  he  hath  the

John  &  Sarah  Blunston  " 

It  will  be  seen  from  these  letters  that  Samuel  Bowne  writes  of 
his  "  uncle  John  Blunston,"  that  John  and  Sarah  Blunston  write  to. 
"  Dr  bro  &  sister,"  and  in  the  letter  of  12  of  ye  nth  month,  1683, 
John  Blunston  writes  "  my  wife  desires  her  sister."  These  quota- 
tions prove  that  the  wife  of  John  Bowne  and  the  wife  of  John 
Blunston  were  sisters.  This  is  further  confirmed  by  the  pedigree 
of  the  Bowne  family  of  Flushing,  Long  Island. 

Thompson's  History  of  Long  Island,  ii,  p.  385,  gives  an  account 
of  the  Bowne  family.  This  is  quoted  here  with  a  few  corrections 
made  by  J.  T.  Bowne  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  already  mentioned. 

Thomas  Bowne,  bap.,  May  25th  1595  at  Matlock,  Derbyshire,  died  in 
1677,  he  had  a  son  John  Bowne  and  a  daughter  Dorothy,  the  latter  bap., 
Aug.,  14th  1631  married  Edward  Farrington,  they  resided  on  Long  Island. 
John  Bowne,  was  bap.,  May  9th,  1627  at  Matlock  and  died,  as  the  letter  of 
29th  of  10th  mon.,  1695  states  on  "  ye  20th  of  ye  same  month,"  meaning  10th 
month.  1695.  John  Bowne  married  at  Flushing,  Lond  Island,  on  May  ith 
1656,  Hannah  Feke,  not  Field  as  Thompson  has  it.  She  died  in  1677.  By 
her  he  had  John  Jr,  born  in  1657  and  died  in  1673,  Elizabeth  born,  1658,  died 
1691,  Abigail,  born  1662  died  in  infancy,  Hannah,  born,  1665,  Samuel,  born 
1667,  died  1745,  he  married  three  times,  first,  on  8th  month  4th,  1691  at  Falls, 
Bucks,  County  Penna,  Mary  Becket,  second,  in  1709,  Hannah  Smith,  and 
third,  in  1735,  Grace  Cowperthwaite,  Dorothy,  born  1669,  married  Henry 
Franklin,  Martha,  born  1673  married  Joseph  Thorn. 

After  the  death  of  Hannah  Feke,  John  Bowne  married  at  Flushing,  Long 
Island  on  the  12th  month  2d,  1679,  Hannah  Bickerstaff,  she  died  "7th  of  4th 
month  1690-1,"  by  her  he  had  Sarah,  born  1680,  died  the  same  year,  John, 
died  in  infancy,  Sarah,  died  in  infancy,  Thomas,  John,  born  1686  married 
Elizabeth  daughter  of  Joseph  Lawrence,  Abigail,  born  5th  month  5th,  1688. 

John  Bowne's  third  wife  was  Mary  Cock,  by  her  he  had  Amy  born  2d 
month  1st,  1694,  and  the  posthumous  child,  spoken  of  in  the  letter  written 
by  Samuel  Bowne,  who  was  named  Ruth,  born  nth  month  30th,  1695-96. 
Amy  named  above  married  Richard  Hallett. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  Samuel  Bowne,  was  above  twenty  five  years  old 


BLUNSTON.  47 

when  he  wrote  to  Phineas  Pemberton,  and  told  of  his  father's  death  and 
mentioned  "  uncle  John  Blunston  were  guardian  to  my  .  .  .  brother  and 
trustees  to  the  will." 

As  this  letter  was  written  in  1695,  after  the  death  of  both  of 
John  Bowne's  first  and  second  wives,  Hannah  Feke,  in  1677,  and 
Hannah  Bickerstaff,  in  1690,  and  the  manner  in  which  the  thiid 
wife,  Mary  Cock,  is  mentioned,  shows  the  relationship,  i.  e.,  "  uncle 
John  Blunston "  must  have  been  through  either  Hannah  Feke  or 
Hannah  Bickerstaff.  It  was  not  through  the  former,  for  the  Feke 
genealogy  shows  no  such  connection.  It  therefore  must  have  been 
through  Hannah  Bickerstaff.  This  is  further  confirmed  by  the  ex- 
pression made  use  of  in  the  letter  of  "  ye  12th  of  ye  nth  '83,"  John 
and  Sarah  Blunston  to  John  Bowne  and  wife,  it  is  as  follows,  "  my 
wife  desires  her  sister  will  remember  to  help  her  some  .  .  .  seeds 
&c." 

Who  the  parents  of  Hannah  Bickerstaff  were  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained, nor  their  place  of  residence.  It  is  probable  that  they  were 
alive  in  1688,  as  the  letter  written  in  that  year  states,  "as  yet  wee 
have  no  letter  from  father  &  mother."  It  is  also  probable  that 
John  Blunston  and  Sarah  Bickerstaff  were  married  in  England,  per- 
haps just  prior  to  coming  to  Pennsylvania,  as  the  letter  of  1683, 
states,  "  blessed  be  ye  Lord  for  his  mercy  which  we  have  largely 
partaken  of  since  zve  left  our  native  country." 

In  the  Certificate  of  Removal,  granted  to  John  Blunston,  there  is 
no  mention  of  his  wife,  it  states  "  soo  far  forth  as  we  know  is 
Cleare  upon  all  Accounts."  This  is  dated  "  13th  day  of  ye  5th 
month  1682."  It  therefore  seems  probable,  that  they  were  married 
sometime  between  this  date  and  the  time  of  their  arrival  in  the 
Province,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  Summer  of  1682,  he  having  sailed 
prior  to  the  time  of  Penn's  landing,  the  29th  day  of  October  (8th 
month),  1682. 

Three  other  children  were  born  after  their  arrival :  John,  6 
month  29th,  1685,  Samuel,  7  month  2d,  1689,  and  Joseph,  11  month 
nth,  1691,  died  8  month  12th,  1692.  Sarah,  the  wife  of  John  Blun- 
ston, died  8  month  4th,  1692.  In  the  6th  month,  1699,  John  Blun- 
ston was  again  married.  The  only  child  by  his  third  wife  was 
Joseph,  born  4  month  3d,  1701 ;  died  5  month  20th,  1701. 

John  Blunston  died  6  month  22d,  1723,  in  the  79th  year  of  his 


4S  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

age.  His  widow  was  afterwards  married  to  Thomas  Lightfoot  in 
the  nth  month,  1724-5.  Thomas  Lightfoot  died  9  month  4th,  1725, 
and  Margaret,  5  month  nth,  1732. 

In  the  manuscript  "  Memoirs  of  Friends,"  eminent  for  piety  and 
virtue,  of  the  Yearly  Meeting  of  Philadelphia,  from  the  settlement 
of  the  Colony  to  the  present  time  (1770),  "by  John  Smith,  of 
Burlington,  N.  J.  (a  brother  of  Samuel  Smith,  the  historian,  and 
son-in-law  of  James  Logan),  occurs  the  following  notice:  "John 
Blunston,  I  have  been  informed  by  Eleanor  Evans,  of  Gwynedd, 
who  knew  him  well,  was  a  very  reputable  Friend  both  before  and 
after  he  came  from  England,  bore  a  good  testimony  for  truth,  was 
esteemed  a  pillar  in  the  Church  and  useful  to  his  country " ;  and 
further  adds,  "  His  doors  were  open  to  strangers,  being  much  given 
to  hospitality." 

The  following  lines  written  by  Samuel  Bunting,  who  later  married 
his  granddaughter,  though  rather  long,  give  us  some  idea  of  the 
estimation  in  which  John  Blunston  was  held  by  his  contemporaries, 
and  are  now  published  for  the  first  time : 

As  True  Encomiums  have  no  power  to  add 
Felicity  or  comfort  to  they  dead 
For,  tis  by  Grace,  as  all  good  men  Declare 
Strength  is  obtained  to  make  'em  what  they  are 
Yet  they  may  be  to  those  that's  left  behind 
As  goads  to  Prick  Excite  and  stir  they  mind.

Who  can  forbear  to  whom  his  worth  was  known 

And  not  Lament  in  shady  Grove  alone 

Since  Tears  in  private  silently  unfold 

Sincere  affections  when  no  eyes  behold. 

They  Church  Laments  as  truly  well  she  may 

When  she  beholds  her  pillars  moved  away 

Strong  Grief  surrounds  me  and  I  fain  would  find 

Words  to  Express  and  stammer  forth  my  mird 

Loss  of  my  friend  affects  me  while  my  muse 

His  pious  Christian  conversation  views 

A  sacred  Zeal  inspired  and  warmed  his  heart 

Truth  as  a  robe  adorned  his  inward  part. 

Unshock'd,  unmoved,  constant  and  Bold  he  stood 

For  gospel  order  and  they  churches  good 

By  good  Example  and  Sound  Doctrine  given 

He  taught  us  freely  they  path  way  to  heaven 

Divinely  learned  in  Wisdom's  mystick  school 

His   words  like   wine   refreshed  the  drooping  soul 

In  love  he  laboured  that  our  blooming  youth 

Might  have  a  Portion  in  they  blessed  truth 

And  that  we  might  by  watching  come  to  know 

Our  minds  redeemed  from  cumbering  things  below 

That  so  the  Pleasures  of  this  world  m'ght  be 

Stain'd  and  Contemn'd  that  truth  might  make  us  free 

In  bond  of  Peace  this  good  man  did  Enjoy 

With  faithfull  brethern  perfect  Unity 

And  such  alone  know  what  it  is  to  be 

Deprived  from  having  such  sweet  Company. 

Self  he  denied  nor  did  he  shun  to  bear 

The  cross  of  Christ  with  chearfullness  whilst  here 

In  sickness  patient,  in  affliction  still 

In  death  resigned  with  free  submissive  will 

His  heart  was  open  and  his  house  was  free 

To  faithfull  friends  of  high  or  low  degree 

Who  chearfully  can  testimony  give 

Tho  he  be  dead  his  memory  shall  live 

Thus  shall  the  righteous  in  remembrance  last 

More  sweet  than  Incense  upon  altars  cast. 

Alas !  he's  gone,  no  tears  could  him  retain 
Nor  sighs  nor  groans  can  fetch  him  back  again. 
May  we  behind  Endeavour  still  with  care 
To  tread  those  steps  Charactered  out  so  fair 
That  when  swift  time  shall  cut  they  slender  thread 
Of  painfull  Life,  and  Join  us  with  they  dead

BLUNSTON.  51 

O    happy  state,  thy  god  whom  thou  didst  Love 
N     ow  will  reward  thee  with  a  crown  above." 

Standing  on  the  north  bank  of  the  creek  a  short  distance  above 
the  bridge  at  Darby,  is  an  old  oak  tree,  which  is  worthy  of  notice.  In 
a  survey  (1682)  of  500  acres  of  land  patented  by  William  Penn  to 
John  Blunston,  this  tree  is  referred  to  as  "  an  ancient  oak."  Since 
that  time,  over  two  centuries,  it  has  stood  there,  braving  the  storms 
and  floods  and  is  still  in  a  flourishing  condition.  It  would  be  inter- 
esting to  know  for  how  many  centuries  prior  to  the  settlement  of 
Darby,  this  "  ancient  oak "  had  stood  there  nourished  by  the  still 
older  creek  which  flows  at  its  base.  A  few  feet  away  is  the  old 
mill  race  which  was  "  digged  "  through  Blunston's  land  nearly  two 
centuries  ago.  On  December  8th,  1696,  John  Blunston  conveyed  by 
deed  to  Samuel  Carpenter  and  John  Bethel  the  right  of  way  for  this 
mill  race,  for  the  consideration  of  an  annual  rental  of  twenty  shill- 
ings. Mr.  Joseph  Bunting,  Jr.,  a  descendant  of  John  Blunston, 
who  owns  a  portion  of  this  land,  receives  yearly  the  rental  from  the 
Griswold  Company,  who  now  operate  the  mills  a  short  distance 
below.  John  Blunston's  will  was  proved  the  28th  day  of  August, 
1723.  No.  166,  book,  A.  I.,  page  152.  The  following  copy  is  from 
the  original,  which  is  on  file  at  West  Chester:

BLUNSTON.  53 

Morgan  Bunting  has  mentioned  the  existence  of  an  old  book  in 
the  possession  of  a  descendant  of  John  Blunston,  which  has  written 
in  it  the  names  of  John  Blunston,  Michael  Blunston,  and  Edward 
Cook,  and  the  date  1680. 

John  Blunston,  of  Darby,  signs  an  Epistle  sent  in  1683  from 
Friends  in  Pennsylvania  and  Jersey,  to  Friends  in  Britain,  see  "  The 
Yorkshireman,"  Magazine,  anno,  1833,  Vol.  iii,  p.  95  (Friends' 
Library   (Orthodox),  Germantown). 

The  following  will  be  found  in  "  Memoirs  of  the  Historical 
Society  of  Pennsylvania,"  Vol  x,  "  The  Penn  and  Logan  Corre- 
spondence," Vol.  ii,  1700-1750.  On  page  8,  in  a  letter  from  James 
Logan  to  William  Penn,  dated,  Philadelphia,  5th  of  2d  month,  1705, 
he  writes,  "  John  Blunston  seldom  comes  nigh  us ;  he  unhappily 
joined  himself  with  those  of  Darby,  (to  preserve  good  neighbour- 
hood, he  says),  who  opposed  the  resurveys."  Page  69,  in  a  letter 
from  William  Penn  to  James  Logan,  dated  14,  7th  month,  1705,  he 
writes,  "  Let  John  Blunston  of  Darby  have  my  old  love,,  and  that  I 
am  the  same  that  ever  I  was  towards  him,  and  hope  the  same  from 
him." 

Morgan  Bunting  mentions  the  fact  that  the  name  Phebe  Bicker- 
staff,  is  signed  to  a  marriage  certificate  of  one  of  the  Fern  family. 
This  no  doubt  is  the  "  sister  phebe,"  mentioned  in  the  letter  of  10th 
of  ye  10th  month,  1688,  John  and  Sarah  Blunston  to  John  and 
Hannah  Bowne.  In  Mr.  Bunting's  article,  the  children  of  John 
and  Sarah  Blunston  are  given  as  follows :  Sarah,  Katharine,  John, 
Samuel,  and  Joseph,  of  course  in  error.  The  children  of  John 
Blunston,  were :

Mr.  Morgan  Bunting's  narrative  gives  some  account  of  the 
descendants  of  John  Blunston. 

Sarah  Blunston  was  married  12  month  12th,  1700,  at  the  meeting 
house  in  Darby  to  Josiah,  son  of  Elizabeth  Fearn.  Her  descendants 
are  numerous,  the  Hibberds  and  Buntings  being  among  them. 
Katharine  Blunston  was  married  early  in  the  10th  month,  1691,  at 
the  meeting  house  in  Darby  to  Adam  Roades,  son  of  John  and 
Elizabeth  Roades.  Katharine  Roades  was  appointed  overseer  in 
Darby  meeting,  6th  month  4th,  1708. 

John  Blunston,  Jr.,  was  married  at  Darby  meeting  9th  month 
12th,  1707,  to  Anne  Hunt,  the  daughter  of  James  and  Elizabeth 
(Bonsall)  Hunt.  Their  certificate  of  marriage  is  recorded  on  the 
minute  book  as  follows : 

Whereas  John  Blunston  junr  of  Darby,  in  the  County  of  Chester  &  province

On  August  31st,  1708,  John  Blunston,  Sr.,  deeded  to  John  Blun- 
ston, Jr.,  a  tract  of  170  acres  in  Darby.  On  the  30th  of  the  follow- 
ing July  "  John  Blunston  the  younger  "  deeded  to  John  Wood  "  the 
moity  or  one  half  of  all  that  Bolting  house  situate  near  the  said 
John  Blunston's  dwelling  house.  Beginning  8  foot  from  the  west 
corner  of  the  said  Bolting  house  fronting  the  street  and  extending

foot  to  another  post  and  from  thence  N.W.  40  foot  to  another  post 
and  thence  40  foot  to  the  place  of  beginning."  The  location  of 
this  bolting  mill  is  not  known,  it  was  probably  on  the  east  side  of 


56  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

High  street  near  the  present  Bunting  street.  John  Blunston,  Jr., 
was  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Assembly  in  1713  and  1716  and 
Justice  of  the  Peace  in  1715.  He  died  on  the  3d  of  8th  month,  1716, 
leaving  his  wife  and  two  children,  Sarah  and  Hannah.  His  widow 
afterwards,  12th  month  7th,  1719,  married  Nathan  Gibson. 

Sarah  Blunston  (daughter  of  John,  Jr.)  was  born  6th  month  19th, 
1708,  and  married,  in  1727,  Samuel  Bethel,  son  of  John  and  Rose 
(Smith)  Bethel.  They  removed  to  Lancaster  county,  and  settled 
near  the  present  borough  of  Columbia.  Samuel  Bethel  died  in  1736, 
and  Sarah  afterwards  married  Peter  Worrall. 

Two  of  Sarah  Bethel's  grandsons,  Samuel  and  Thomas  Boude, 
served  with  distinction  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  another  de- 
scendant, General  Lewis  Merrill  of  Philadelphia,  was  very  active  in 
the  Civil  war. 

Hannah  Blunston  (daughter  of  John,  Jr.)  was  born  4th  month 
7th,  17 12,  and  married  6th  month  30th,  1732,  Thomas  Pearson,  son 
of  Benjamin  and  Susanna  (Burbeck)  Pearson.  She  died  8th 
month  7th,  1778.  From  this  couple  are  descended  many  of  the 
Lloyd,  Pearson  and  Serrill  families  of  Darby. 

Samuel  Blunston  (son  of  John,  Sr.)  was  married  on  the  7th  of 
3d  month,  1718,  to  Sarah  Bilton,  "of  Kingsess,  widow,"  whose 
former  husband  had  kept  a  ferry  on  the  Schuylkill.  Removing  to 
the  Susquehanna  in  1726,  in  the  early  settlement  of  Lancaster 
county,  Samuel  Blunston  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  at  the 
present  site  of  Columbia.    His  wife  died  soon  after. 

Samuel  Blunston  was  a  man  of  considerable  wealth,  having  in- 
herited his  father's  estate,  and,  it  is  said,  received  much  from  his 
wife.  He  was  a  very  important  man  of  affairs  in  Lancaster  county, 
a  member  of  Assembly,  deputy  register  of  wills,  one  of  the  Justices, 
and  Deputy  Surveyor  for  several  townships.  He  had  early  in  life 
studied  surveying  and  so  was  well  fitted  for  the  last  position.  His 
death  occurred  in  the  latter  part  of  September,  1745,  the  following 
notice  appearing  in  the  Pennsylvania  Gazette  of  October  3rd,  1745, 
"  We  hear  from  Hempfield  in  Lancaster  county,  that,  on  Monday 
last  died  there,  much  regretted,  Samuel  Blunston  Esq.,  one  of  the 
Representatives  of  that  county,  a  Gentleman  of  extensive  Knowledge 
and  Benevolence."  He  had  no  children  and  left  his  large  property, 
some  900  acres,  to  his  nieces,  Hannah  Pearson  and  Sarah  Bethel,  to 


BLUNSTON.  57 

be  given  to  them  after  the  death  of  his  friend,  Susanna  Wright,  to 
whom  he  gave  a  life  estate.  Samuel  was  the  last  on  the  male  line  to 
bear  the  name  of  Blunston,  and  a  few  years  later,  1749,  upon  the 
death  of  his  aunt,  Michael  Blunston's  widow,  the  name  entirely  dis- 
appears. 

THE  ANCESTRY  OF  JOHN  BLUNSTON. 

Little  Hallam  or  Kirk  Hallam  (All  Saints),  the  place  from  whence 
John  Blunston  came  to  Pennsylvania,  is  a  parish  partly  in  the  union 
of  Belper,  Hundred  of  Appletree,  and  partly  in  the  union  of  Shard- 
low,  and  hundred  of  Morleston  and  Litchurch,  Southern  Division 
of  the  county  of  Derby,  about  9  miles  (E.N.E.)  from  Derby.  The 
church  is  in  the  hundred  of  Morleston  and  Litchurch.  In  the  mar- 
riage certificate  of  John  Blunston  and  Elinor  Branton  or  Brantnon, 
he  is  designated  as  of  the  parish  of  Elkeston  (Ilkeston),  and  of  the 
town  of  "nthe"  (Nether)  Hallam,  meaning  Kirk  or  Little  Hallam. 

Ilkeston  (St.  Mary)  is  a  market-town  and  parish  in  the  union  of 
Basford,  hundred  of  Morleston  and  Litchurch,  Southern  Division 
of  the  county  of  Derby,  nearly  ten  miles  (N.E.  by  E.)  from  Derby. 
This  place  was  anciently  called  Elchestane,  and  obtained  a  grant  for 
a  market  and  fair  in  1251.  The  church  is  an  ancient  structure  with 
a  lofty  tower  of  modern  date.  In  the  interior  is  a  stone  screen  in 
the  early  English  style,  together  with  some  interesting  ancient 
monuments. 

Adjoining  parishes  to  Kirk  Hallam  to  the  west  and  northwest 
are  Stanley  and  West  Hallam.  On  the  southwest,  Dale  Abbey,  on 
the  south  Ockbrook  and  Sandiacre ;  on  the  southeast,  Stanton  by 
Dale,  and  on  the  northeast,  Ilkeston ;  the  latter  being  along  the 
boundary  of  Nottinghamshire.  The  bordering  parishes  in  Notts  are 
Cossal,  Strelly,  Bilborough,  Trowell  and  Stapleford. 

In  order  to  ascertain  with  certainty  the  ancestry  of  John  Blunston, 
it  was  necessary  to  obtain  as  much  information  as  possible  concern- 
ing any  brothers  or  sisters  he  might  have  had  living  either  in  Penn- 
sylvania or  in  England. 

One  of  his  brothers  we  find  was  Michael  Blunston  who  also  re- 
moved to  Pennsylvania.  The  following  abstract  of  his  will  confirms 
the  statement  that  the  family  was  of  Kirk  Hallam,  Derbyshire.

These  wills  prove  that  there  were  four  brothers,  viz:  John  and 
Michael,  who  came  to  Pennsylvania,  and  William  and  Samuel,  who

remained  at  Kirk  Hallam.  That  William  had  a  son  William,  who 
had  issue  living  in  1736,  and  that  Samuel  had  sons  Michael  and 
Samuel,  living  in  the  same  year. 

An  attempt  to  find  the  baptism  of  John  Blunston  at  Kirk  Hallam, 
failed,  as  the  parish  registers  earlier  than  1700  are  wanting.  Those 
of  West  Hallam  begin  in  1545,  but  the  name  of  Blunston  could  not 
be  found  there  for  the  period,  searched,  i.  c,  circa  1640-47.  The 
same  was  reported  for  the  search  in  the  registers  of  Ilkeston,  which 
begin  in  1586.  Apparently  the  only  near  parish  to  Kirk  Hallam  in 
which  the  name  occurs  is  that  of  Sandiacre,  the  registers  of  which 
begin  in  1571.  The  entries  taken  from  this  register  will  be  referred 
to  hereafter. 

Recourse  was  then  had  to  wills  at  Lichfield,  in  Staffordshire. 
Derbyshire  being  in  the  diocese  of  Lichfield  and  Coventry.  At  Lich- 
field, wills  and  administrations  of  the  name  of  Blunston  were  sys- 
tematically examined  and  extracts  made,  covering  the  period  from 
the  earliest  found,  to  the  year  1700. 

The  following  (two)  administration  bonds,  relate  to  the  Kirk 
Hallam  Blunstons. 

Paul  Blunston,  Bond  dated  18th  of  November,  1692,  whereby  Mary  Blunston 
of  the  parish  of  Kirk  Hallam,  widow,  by  Samuel  Blunston  of  the  same 
parish,  "  Stokin-nitter  "  and  David  England  of  the  same  parish  yeoman,  her 
surities  is  bound  in  the  sum  of  £500  to  make  a  true  inventory  of  the  goods 
&c,  of  Paul  Blunston  deceased,  late  of  Kirke  Hallam  in  the  county  of  Derby, 
husbandman. 

Inventory,  dated  25th  of  October,  1692,  amounts  to  £289.16.3. 
On  the  18th  day  of  November,   1692,  appeared   Mary   Blunston  and  alleged 
that   Paul    Blunston    of    Kirke    Hallam    died    intestate    and    that    she    is    his 
widow. 

William  Blunston,  Bond  dated  14th  of  September  16S3  whereby  Anne 
Blunstone  of  Kirk-hallam  in  the  county  of  Derby,  widow  by  Robert  Bingham 
of  Shardly  in  the  county  of  Derby,  her  surety,  is  bound  in  the  sum  of  £56. 
The  condition  of  this  bond  is  that  the  said  Anne  Blunston  the  rel'ct  and 
administratrix  of  all  the  goods  &c,  of  William  Blunstone  of  Kirkhallam 
shall  make  a  true  inventory  thereof  and  exhibit  the  same  before  the  1st  day  of 
October  following. 
The  inventory  was  filed  as  follows.

John  Husband,   Surr : 

These  are  the  only  administration  bonds  of  the  Kirk  Hallam 
Blunstons  (no  wills)  for  the  period  when  the  father  of  John  Blun- 
ston who  came  to  Pennsylvania  must  have  died.  As  the  name  of 
William  is  a  family  one  in  the  Blunston  branch  which  remained  in 
Kirk  Hallam  it  seems  reasonable  to  conclude  that  the  William 
Blunston  whose  estate  was  administered  by  his  widow  in  1683,  was 
the  father  of  John  and  Michael  who  came  to  Pennsylvania,  and 
William  and  Samuel  who  remained  in  Kirk  Hallam.  This  is  further 
confirmed  by  the  name  Michael,  which  is  one  that  will  be  found  to 
occur  in  the  family  of  the  above  mentioned  William  Blunston.1 

Before  proceeding  to  give  an  account  of  the  ancestry  of  this  man, 
which  will  be  found  to  be  clearly  proven  by  wills,  extracts  of  Blun- 
ston wills,  other  than  those  of  Kirk  Hallam,  of  the  same  period  will 
be  given.  This  is  done  to  show  that  the  ancestry  proposed  to  be  given 
is  correct  and  confirmed  by  these  wills  of  people  of  the  same  name  of 
adjoining  parishes.  They  will  also  be  of  value  to  any  genealogist 
who  may  have  occasion  to  work  in  the  same  neighborhood.

In  "  An  Index  to  the  Pedigrees  and  Arms  contained  in  the 
Herald's  Visitations  &  other  Genealogical  manuscripts  in  the  British 
Museum,"  by  R.  Sims,  London,  1849,  there  is  this  reference. 
"  Blandeston  or  Blundeston,  Derbyshire  from  county  Suffolk.  1093 
fo.,  52b."  A  transcript  was  made  from  the  original  MS.  above  cited, 
and  is  as  follows :

3  d  H,   (Henry)  primi." 

(Note,  by  H.  W.  L.,  from  a  William  Nettham  or  Needham,  living  Anno 
1st  of  Henry  2nd  circa  1154,  the  old  MSS.,  gives  a  charted  pedigree  to  a 
John  Needham  living  Anno  4th  of  Edward  III,  circa  1331.  From  this  John 
Needham  descends  a  Henry  Needham  or  Nedham  who  appears  to  have 
been  a  younger  son  or  4th  son  of  his  father.  He  married  Anna  daughter  of 
Haselwood  of  Maidwell  in  county  Northampton.  Her  first  husband  was 
Arthur  Uvedale  in  county  Southampton.  Henry  Nedham  had  a  daughter  and 
heiress  Anna  who  married  Laerence  Blundeston  of  Haughton  or  Halaughton 
in  county  Notts.  He  was  of  Haughton  in  right  of  his  mother,  who  was 
Anna  daughter  and  heiress  of  Lawrence  Maxe  or  Maxey  of  Halaughton  in 
county  Notts.  Lawrence  Blundeston's  father  was  Nicholas  Blundeston, 
whose  will  extract  has  been  given,  dated  19th  March  1581.  Beside  Law- 
rence he  had  a  son  Paul  Blundeston.  He  also  mentions  a  legacy  to  Thomas 
Blundeston  and  to  each  of  his  "  brethern."  One  of  the  witnesses  was  Wil- 
liam Needham.  It  seems  probable  that  this  Thomas  Blundeston  was  a 
brother  of  Nicholas  Blundeston.  For  Nicholas  had  brothers  William  and 
Robert,  as  will  be  seen  from  another  MSS.  No  doubt  he  Thomas  Blundeston 
was  identical  with  the  Thomas  Blundeston  who  made  his  nuncupative  will 
20  January  1590,  as  of  Haloughton  and  appears  to  have  died  without  issue. 
Among  other  names  mentioned  in  his  will  is  that  of  William  Forrest,  who 
was  a  son  of  John  Forrest  by  a  daughter  of  Nicholas  Blundestoi.  John 
Blundeston  whose  will  was  proved  20  Feb.,  1574  as  of  Cotgreave  county 
Notts,  had  a  son  Paul  Blundeston.  He  mentions  as  Surveyors  William 
Nadom  or  Needham  and  "  Uncle  Blundestone."  This  was  undoubtedly 
Nicholas  Blundeston,  and  therefore  John  Blundeston  was  a  nephew  of 
Nicholas  Blundeston  of  Haloughton.  One  of  the  witnesses  was  a  William 
Blundestone  who  he  was  is  not  clear.  He  may  have  been  William  Blundeston 
brother  to  Nicholas  Blundeston.  In  the  nuncupative  will  of  Robert 
Blundeston  of  Hipgreave  Park,  probated  16th  of  March  1590  he  mentions  his 
father's  second  wife  as  "ye  maistress,"  meaning  Dame  Anne  widow  of 
Hipgreave  Park.  He  also  names  Ann  and  Gertrude  Blundeston  daughters 
of  the  said  Dame  Anne  Blundeston.  The  inference  is  that  this  Dame  Anne 
Blundeston  was  the  step-mother  of  Robert  Blundeston,  altho'  not  stated  in  so 
many  words. 


BLUNSTON.  Si 

A  brother  of  Nicholas  Blundeston  was  named  Robert,  the  above  named  Robert 
Blundeston  of  Hipgreave  Park  it  seems  reasonable  to  suppose,  was  Robert 
brother  of  Nicholas. 

Especially  as  will  be  seen  from  the  other  old  MSS.,  that  the  father  of 
Nicholas  Blundeston  was  married  twice. 

According  to  the  old  MSS.,  "  Harleian,  1093  f  52  b.,  the  father  of  Nicholas 
Blundeston  was  Thomas  Blundeston,  miles  (Knight)  by  a  daughter  of 
Thomas  Powtrell  of  West  Hallam  (it  will  be  noted  that  the  other  MSS., 
gives  a  different  mother  for  Nicholas).  The  father  of  Thomas  Blundeston, 
miles  was  Richard  Blundeston  by  a  daughter  of  Aslake  or  Haslake  of  Nor- 
folk. The  father  of  Richard  Blundeston  was  John  Blundeston  or  Blandeston 
of  Blandeston  in  the  county  of  Suffolk. 

According  to  the  old  MSS.  the  descent  of  Nicholas  Blundeston  was 
somewhat  different.    It  is  partly  given  here. 

From  "The  Visitations  of  the  County  of  Nottingham  in  the  years  1569  and 
1614.     Edited  by  George  William  Marshall,  L.L.M.  1871.

Crest,  a  wolf  passant  argent. 
(Note,  the  pedigree  starts  with  Sir  Thomas  Arden,  Knight,  9th  of  Edward 
II.)  Beatrex  daughter  and  heir  of  Roger  Arden  and  grand  daughter  of  Sir 
Thomas  Arden  married  William  Chambers,  their  great  grand  son  Sir  Thomas 
Chambers  High  Sheriff  of  the  county  Northampton  temp  Henry  6th.,  had  a 
grand-daughter  and  co-heiress  named  Ellen  who  married  Henry  Maxey  of 
Higham  Ferrers  in  county  Northampton,  their  third  son  Lawrence  Maxey  of 
Haloughton  in  county  Nottingham  married  Alice  daughter  of  William  Roch. 
and  Anne  the  daughter  and  heiress  of  Lawrence  Maxey  married  Nicholas 
Blundeston.  According  to  this  MSS.,  the  said  Nicholas  Blundeston  had  a 
sister  Alice  Blundeston  married  to  a  man  named  Sarr'ngham.  They  had 
brothers,  Robert  Blundeston,  "  Batchelor  in  Divinity,"  Richard  Blundeston, 
Master  of  "  Baillioll  College  in  county  Oxon,"  ob.  s.  p.,  and  William 
Blundeston  who  married  Alice  daughter  of  a  man  named  Bradshaw,  and  left 
issue  not  named. 

The  father  of  these  children,  Nicholas,  Alice,  Robert,  Richard  and  William 
was  Thomas  Blundeston  just  as  the  other  old  MSS.,  has  it  but  by  a  different 
mother,  her  name  being  Elizabeth  daughter  of  a  man  named  Windsot  of 
Dracott. 

(Draycott  is  a  small  place  a  liberty  in  the  parish  of  Sawley  in  the  Southern 
Division  of  the  county  of  Derby.     It  is  less  than  five  miles  South  West  of 
Sandiacre  and  6V2  East  South  East  from  Derby). 
Tt  would  seem  therefore,  that  Thomas  Blundeston  was  married  twice.     His 

7 


S2  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

wives  being  a  daughter  of  Thomas  Powtrell  of  West  Hallam,  and  Elizabeth 

daughter  of  Windsor  of  Draycott.     His  father  was  Richard  Blundeston  who 

married  a  daughter  of  Jepsay  or  Jopsay  as  Harleian  MSS  1400  has  it  by  a 

daughter  of  Fox  of  ...  in  county  Derby. 

Richard  Blundeston  was  a  son  of  another  Richard  Blundeston  of  Blundeston 

by  a  daughter  of  .  .  .  Haslake  of  ...  in  county  Norfolk. 

This  last  Richard  Blundeston  was  a  son  of  John  Blundeston  of  Blundeston 

temp.,    Henry    IV.     Descended    from   Robert    Blundeston    of    Blundeston    in 

county  Suffolk  temp,  Edward  1st. 

So  much  for  this  branch  of  the  Blundeston  family.  It  shows 
that  they  settled  in  or  near  Sandiacre  on  coming  from  Suffolk. 

The  "  Visitations  of  the  County  of  Nottingham  "  as  published  by 
The  Harleian  Society,  are  taken  from  Harlein  MSS.  1555  and  1400. 
According  to  the  pedigree  therein  given,  William  Blundeston,  son 
of  Thomas  Blundeston,  married  Alice  daughter  of  .  .  .  Bradshaw. 
It  therefore  seems  probable  that  he  was  the  father  of  William  and 
Robert  Blundeston  of  Sandiacre,  circa  1592. 

Either  the  name  Alice,  wife  of  William  Blundeston  as  given  in  the 
Visitations  is  an  error  of  the  Herald's,  or  he  was  married  twice,  for 
Joan  appears  to  have  been  the  name  of  the  mother  of  William  and 
Robert  Blunston  of  Sandiacre.  Her  will  was  dated  24th  of  February, 
1573,  *n  which  she  requested  to  be  buried  within  the  Church  of 
Sandiacre,  and  mentions  her  daughters  Margaret  and  Tone,  her  son- 
in-law  Robert  Taylor  and  her  sons  William  and  Robert  Blunston. 

Granting  William  Blunston  of  Kirk  Hallam,  who  died  without 
making  a  will,  and  on  whose  estate  Letters  of  Administration  were 
granted  in  1683,  to  be  the  father  of  William  Blunston  of  Kirk 
Hallam  who  died  prior  to  1734  and  of  Samuel  Blunston  of  Kirk 
Hallam  living  in  1734,  then  the  descent  of  John  Blunston  of  Kirk 
Hallam  and  Pennsylvania,  and  Michael  Blunston  of  Kirk  Hallam, 
and  afterwards  of  Pennsylvania,  is  as  follows:

graphical Dictionary  of  England. 

"  Blundeston,  (St  Mary),  a  parish  in  the  hundred  of  Mutford  and  Lothing- 
land  Eastern  Division  of  the  county  of  Suffolk  3,  %  miles  (N.  W.)  from 
Lowestoft.  The  living  is  a  discharged  rectory  with  that  of  Flixton  the 
united  value  in  the  king's  books  £13.. 6.. 8." 

In  a  History  of  the  County  of  Suffolk  by  Rev.,  Alfred  Suckling  1846  p.  307 
there  is  a  "  Full  account  of  the  manor  of  Blundeston."  Here  are  some 
extracts.  "There  are  two  manors,  Blundeston  Hall  and  Gonvilles.  The 
former  was  held  by  a  family  which  took  their  name  from  the  place  and 
retained  it  with  the  patronage  of  the  church  till  the  end  of  the  reign  of 
Edward  1st.  Robert  de  Blundeston  was  lord.  In  the  23rd  of  Edward  III, 
in  the  year  1348  there  was  a  conveyance  from  Osbertus,  Rector  of  the  church 
of  Blundeston  and  Oliverus  de  Wyste  to  William  the  son  of  Robert  de 
Blundeston  and  the  heirs  of  his  body  of  the  manor  of  Blundeston  with  all 
the  lands  and  appurtenances  in  Blundeston,  Oulton  and  Flixton  together  with 
the  advowson  of  the  church  of  the  village  of  Blundeston  with  the  appurten- 
ances all  of  which  formerly  of  Robert  de  Blundeston,  to  hold  to  the  said 
William  and  the  heirs  of  his  body  lawfully  begotten. 

From  this  family  the  manor  and  advowson  passed  to  that  of 
Yarmouth.

BURBECK 


B  U  R  B  E  C  K. 

Thomas  Burbeck  was  living  within  the  bounds  of  Chesterfield 
Monthly  Meeting,  Derbyshire,  England,  in  or  about  the  year  1665/6, 
but  the  exact  time  and  place  of  his  birth  are  unknown.  According 
to  the  record  of  Burials,  of  members  of  Chesterfield  Monthly 
Meeting,  from  Digest  at  Devonshire,  he  died,  10th  month  10th,  1699, 
and  was  buried,  on  the  10th  of  the  same  month,  at  Tupton.  If 
Tapton  is  meant,  it  is  a  township  in  the  parish  of  Chesterfield  one 
and  one  half  miles  northeast  by  east,  from  the  latter  place.  If 
Tupton  is  meant,  it  is  a  township  in  the  parish  of  North  Wingfield 
and  about  four  miles  south  of  Chesterfield.  Elizabeth,  whose  sur- 
name is  unknown,  but  may  have  been  Frith,  was  the  wife  of  Thomas 
Burbeck.  When  and  where  she  was  born  and  when  and  where  she 
died  are  unknown.  The  reason  for  supposing  her  name  may  have 
been  Frith,  is  from  the  fact  that,  in  the  list  of  signers  as  witnesses, 
to  the  marriage  of  Benjamin  Pearson  and  Susanna  Burbeck  in  1703, 
the  name  of  Joseph  Frith  occurs  immediately  after  that  of  Peter 
Burbeck  and  that  of  Alice  Frith  after  that  of  Patience  Pearson. 
This  shows  a  close  relationship,  and  the  name  Susanna,  as  a.  given 
name  in  the  Burbeck  family,  is  an  additional  matter  to  consider  as 
there  was  a  Susanna  Frith  who  suffered  for  being  a  Quaker  at 
Chesterfield,  in  1677,  Besse's  "  Sufferings,"  Vol.  i,  p.  142,  &c.  What 
the  occupation  of  Thomas  Burbeck  was  has  not  been  ascertained. 
In  an  effort  to  obtain  some  information  about  the  family,  the  digest 
of  records  belonging  to  the  various  Meetings  of  the  Religious  Society 
of  Friends'  kept  at  Devonshire  House,  was  consulted,  the  result  is 
here  given.

GARRETT 


GARRETT. 

Nathan  Garrett,  sixth  child  of  Samuel  Garrett  and  Jane  Pen- 
nell  of  Darby,  was  born,  12th  month  13th,  171 1,  in  Darby,  and  died 
9th  month  16th,  1802,  in  Upper  Darby  Township,  Delaware  County. 
He  married,  at  Abington  Monthly  Meeting,  1739,  Ann  Knowles, 
who  was  born  about  the  year  1712,  in  Abington,  and  died  in  Darby 
(within  the  bounds  of  Darby  Monthly  Meeting),  4th  month  2nd, 
1787.  She  was  a  daughter  of  John  Knowles  and  Ann  Paul  of 
Oxford  Township,  Philadelphia.  Ann  Knowles  may  have  been  born 
in  Oxford  Township ;  but  her  family  seemed  to  have  been  members 
of  Abington  Monthly  Meeting.  The  following  extract  from  the 
Monthly  Meeting  Minute  Book  of  that  Meeting,  under  date  of  29th 
of  8th  month,  1739, -relates  to  the  above  marriage. 

"  Whereas  Nathan  Garrett  and  Ann  Knowles  having  declared  their  inten- 
tions of  marriage  with  each  other  before  two  monthly  meetings,  the  said 
Nathan  having  produced  a  certificate  of  his  clearance  &c,  from  the  monthly 
meeting  of  ffr'ds  of  Darby,  and  no  obstructions  appearing  to  hinder  them, 
they  are  at  liberty  to  consumate  their  said  intentions  orderly.  Griffith  Jones 
&  John  Atkins  are  app'd  to  attend  as  overseers." 

The  record  of  the  date  of  the  marriage  does  not  appear,  but  it  was 
shortly  after  the  above  date,  and  prior  to  the  Meeting  in  9th  month 
following. 

Nathan  Garrett  was  a  farmer  and  his  name  appears  in  the  list  of 
taxables  for  Darby  Township  for  1799.  He  may  have  disposed  ot 
his  farm  prior  to  the  time  of  making  his  will,  as  there  is  no  mention 
therein  of  any  real  property.  The  land,  however,  may  have  been 
entailed,  he  only  having  a  life  interest  in  it,  as  well  as  in  other  real 
estate,  as  will  be  noted  in  the  inventory  of  his  estate.

Samuel  Garratt  (or  Garrett)  a  son  of  William  Garratt  and  his 
wife  Ann  Kirke,  was  born  in  Harby,  in  Leicestershire,  England,  5th

GARRETT.  97 

William  Garratt,  son  of  John  Garratt  (or  Garret)  and  Mary 
his  wife,  was  born  the  21st  of  August  and  baptised  the  3rd  of 
September,  1643,  in  England.  This  and  the  following  dates  are  taken 
from  an  old  bible,  printed  in  1634,  in  the  possession  of  the  late 
Nathan  Garrett  of  Upper  Darby.  This  record  is  cited  in  "  The 
Sharpless  Family." 

William  Garratt  maried,  2nd  month  19th,  1668,  Ann  Kirke,  and 
he  was  living  at  Harby  in  the  extreme  northern  part  of  Leicester- 
shire from  1672  to  1684.  Harby  and  Hose,  the  latter  parish  being 
referred  to  later,  are  both  in  the  Vale  of  Belvoir  near  to  the  borders 
of  Nottinghamshire. 

William  Garrett  and  Samuel  Levis,  both  of  Harby  became  pur- 
chasers of  1,000  acres  of  land  in  Pennsylvania  by  deeds  of  lease 
and  release,  dated  August  9th  and  10th,  1684.  Both  were  members 
of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  obtained,  with  others,  a  certificate  of 
removal,  which  was  presented  at  a  meeting  held  at  the  "  Governor's 
house  "  in  Philada.,  on  9th  month  4th,  1684,  and  a  record  made  of  it 
in  the  book  of  Minutes  of  the  Philadelphia  Monthly  Meeting  as 
follows : 

"  William  Garret,  John  Smith,  Robert  Cliffe  and  Samuel  Levis,  their 
Certificate  was  Read  in  the  monthly  meeting  at  Philadelphia  and  accepted, 
which  was  given  them  by  the  meeting  at  Harby  in  the  County  of  Leicester,  the 
20th  day  of  the  5th  month  1684  and  subscribed  by  Edw'd  Hallam,  Henry 
Brown,  John  Marriott,  Robert  Dubbleday  with  severall  others." 

The  land  that  William  Garrett  had  purchased  before  leaving  Eng- 
land was  situate  in  Willistown  Township,  Chester  County.  He  did 
not  however,  settle  on  it,  but  lived  in  Darby  Township,  now  Upper 
Darby,  his  plantation  being  near  to  the  present  village  of  Garrettford, 
north  of  the  Garrett  Road  and  west  of  the  Coopertown  Road.  It 
contained  three  hundred  acres,  and  had  been  surveyed  November 
8th,  1682,  to  Luke  Hanck,  who  sold  it  to  William  Garrett,  March  5th, 
1688.     (Ashmead's  "History  of  Delaware  County.") 

A  plan  of  the  southern  part  of  Willistown  Township,  made  in  the 
year  1704,  shows  that  William  Garrett  had  at  that  time  556  acres 
there.  (Futhey  and  Cope's  "  History  of  Chester  County.")  In  the 
tax  list  for  the  year  1693,  his  name  appears  among  those  of  the 
Township  of  Darby.  He  was  a  member  of  Assembly  from  Chester 
County  for  the  years  1706  and  1707.  The  latter  part  of  his  life  was 
spent  in  Philadelphia,  to  which  place  he  removed  in  1721,  and  where 
he  died  in  1724.    Here  is  an  extract  from  his  will.

GIBBONS. 


GIBBONS. 

Henry  Gibbons,  or  Gibbins,  was  born  in  England,  but  the  exact 
date  and  place  are  unknown. 

He  died  12th  month  10th,  1701/2,  in  Darby,  Pennsylvania.  Prior 
to  his  coming  to  his  new  home,  he  married.  His  wife's  given  name 
was  Helen,  her  surname  unknown.  She  died  in  Darby  in  1715. 
Darby  Meeting,  Deaths  give,  "  Elin  Gibons,  12,  14,  1715."  In 
"  Besse's  Sufferings  of  the  People  called  Quakers,"  Vol.  i,  page  138, 
it  is  stated  that  "  on  the  23rd  of  the  month  called  June  1661,  at  a 
meeting  at  Eyam  in  the  High  Peak,  Derbyshire,  at  the  house  of 
Elizabeth  Deane,  .  .  .  wher  she  was  praying,  31  men  and  10  women 
were  arrested  among  the  number  Henry  Gibbins."  This  shows  that 
he  had  become  convinced  of  the  principles  of  the  Religious  Society 
of  Friends  early  in  life.  He  was  a  consistent  member  of  this  Re- 
ligious body  to  the  time  of  his  death.  In  1682  he  and  his  wife  and 
family  removed  from  "Parividge"  (Parwich,  or  Parwick),  Derby- 
shire. Parwick  (St.  Peter)  is  a  parish  in  the  hundred  of  Wirks- 
worth,  S.  Division  of  the  county  of  Derby.  It  is  six  miles  north  by 
east  from  Ashbourn.  His  certificate  of  removal  is  dated  5th  month 
27th,  1682,  and  is  from  Ashford  Matlock  and  Moneyash  Meeting. 
His  place  was  located  on  Darby  Creek,  adjoining  that  of  John 
Blunston,  and  about  opposite,  where  the  present  Darby  Friends' 
Meeting  House  is  situated. 

In  1689,  in  a  list  of  "  Land  Holders,"  his  name  occurs  with  those 
of  Israel  Hobs  and  Samuel  Selaw  for  200  acres.  In  the  tax  list  for 
1693  he  is  assessed  in  the  Township  of  Darby  as  follows :  "  Henry 
Gibbens,  £00,  S02,  do6." 

Here  follows  an  extract  of  the  will  of  Henry  Gibbons,  or  Gibins

HEACOCK. 


HEACOCK. 

Jonathan  Heacock  was  born  in  Middletown  Township,  then 
Chester  now  Delaware  County,  about  1744,  and  died  9th  month  1st, 
1832,  on  his  farm  near  Darby  Creek,  in  that  part  of  Delaware 
County  called  Calkoon  Hook,  below  the  Borough  of  Darby.  He  was 
a  son  of  John  Heacock  and  Sarah  Taylor,  of  Middletown,  and  the 
exact  date  of  his  birth  is  unknown ;  but  he  was  aged  88  years  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  The  year  of  his  death  was  the  time  of  a  cholera 
epidemic,  and  his  daughter  Ann  and  her  husband  Howard  Williams 
and  their  family,  were  spending  the  summer  with  him  to  escape  the 
disease.  The  latter  part  of  August  having  arrived  they  concluded  it 
would  be  safe  to  move  back  to  town.  The  thought  was  that  it  would 
save  the  going  back  and  forth  of  Howard  Williams  to  and  from  his 
place  of  business,  then  at  southwest  corner  of  Broad  and  Spruce 
Streets,  quite  a  journey  in  those  days,  he  having  to  drive  into  the 
city  in  the  morning  and  return  to  the  farm  in  the  evening.  Jonathan 
Heacock,  however,  remarked  to  his  daughter  "  Do  not  go  just  yet, 

1  cannot  spare  thee,  wait  a  couple  of  weeks !  "  They  remained,  and 
during  this  time  he  died. 

He  was  a  constant  attender  of  Darby  Meeting,  and  an  Overseer. 
In  1774  he  was  assessed  at  112  acres  and  buildings,  9  acres  of  marsh, 

2  horses,  and  3  cattle.  A  certificate  of  removal  for  him  and  his 
family  was  granted  2nd  month  26th,  1776,  by  Chester  Monthly  Meet- 
ing, to  Darby  Monthly  Meeting.  On  nth  month  19th,  1766,  at 
Concord  Friends'  Meeting,  he  married  Hannah  Pyle.  She  was  born 
about  the  year  1746  in  Thornbury  Township  near  the  present  village 
of  Thornton,  Delaware  County,  and  died  1st  month  12th,  1808,  on 
their  farm  at  Calcoon  (Calkoon)  Hook.  She  was  a  large  fine  look- 
ing woman  and  was  found  dead  on  the  floor  of  her  house  on  the 
return  of  the  family  from  a  visit  in  the  neighborhood;  supposedly 
from  apoplexy.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Jacob  Pyle  and  his  wife, 
Jane  Sharpless  of  Thornbury. 

A  copy  of  the  will  of  Jonathan  Heacock  is  here  given. 

Be  it  remembered  that  I  Jonathan  Heacock  of  the  Township  of  Darby, 
County  of  Delaware  and  State  of  Pennsylvania,  being  of  sound  disposing

hundred  Dollars :  also  all  the  goods  and  household  furniture  set  down  in  a

not  to  be  taken  into  the  inventory  or  appraisment  of  my  estate. 

Item,  I  give  and  bequeath  unto  my  son  John  P.  Heacock,  the  sum  of  four 
hundred  Dollars :  also  two  horse  creatures,  and  all  the  farming  utensils 
which  he  has  paid  for  and  are  considered  as  his  property,  likewise  half  the 
sheep,  and  half  the  feeding  cattle  that  may  be  on  the  premises  at  the  time

Hannah  and  John  P.  Heacock  be  considered  as  a  compensation  for  services 
to  me  since  they  became  of  age  and  in  lieu  and  in  bar  of  any  charge  they

September  17,  1832.  Then  personally  appeared  Isaac  Bartram  and  John 
Jackson  the  subscribing  witnesses  to  the  foregoing  Will  &  being  affirmed 
according  to  law  did  depose  and  say  that  they  saw  and  heard  Jonathan  Hea- 
cock the  Testator  sign,  seal,  publish  aind  declare  the  same  as  &  for  his

Coram        Henry   Myers        Regt. 

The  following  was  related  by  Annabella  W.  Lloyd.  Jonathan 
Heacock,  like  many  others  who  were  members  of  The  Society  of 
Friends  was  non-combatant  during  the  War  of  the  Revolution.  Ann 
Williams  told  her  daughter  Annabella,  that  her  father's  farm  was 
overrun  by  both  armies ;  but  suffered  most  from  the  Hessian  troops. 
Her  mother  would  bake  bread  for  the  use  of  the  family,  and  the 
Hessian  soldiers  would  come  in  the  kitchen  and  carry  it  off  on  their 
bayonets.  One  of  the  soldiers  took  one  of  their  best  cows.  Jonathan 
complained  to  the  commanding  officer,  who  took  him  through  the 
camp  to  identify  the  thief,  which  he  said  he  could  easily  do.  After 
seeing  the  men  he  recognized  the  one  who  had  taken  the  cow,  but  as 
the  officer  had  said  that  if  he  knew  who  it  was  he  would  make  an 
example  of  him,  Jonathan  decided  not  to  identify  the  thief,  as  he  did 
not  want  the  man  severely  punished.

About  the  year  17 15  Henry  Hodge  and  his  wife  Frances,  with 
their  children,  removed  from  St.  Johns,  Antigua,  to  Philadelphia. 
Vere  Langford  Oliver  in  his  "  History  of  Antigua "  gives  some 
account  of  Henry  Hodge.    A  few  extracts  are  here  given : 

"  1714,  March  15,  Henry  Hodge  of  Antigua,  planter,  and  Frances  his  wife 
sell  to  John  Knight  of  Antigua,  planter  30  acres  at  Popeshead  for  £800  c." 
1715,  March  26,   Henry  Hodge  and  Frances  his   wife  of   Antigua   sell   two 
negros  to  William  Knight,  planter,  for  £170,  c." 

"  1715,  March  26,  Margaret  Hodge,  widow,  Whereas,  my  son  Henry  Hodge 
and  Frances  his  wife  for  £800  sold  30  acres  in  Popeshead  to  John  Knight, 
Gent.,    I    free   him    from   all   claims." 

"  1715,  March  29,  Henry  Hodge  and  Frances  his  wife  sell  2  acres  in  Popes- 
head  to  Benjamin  Hodge." 

From  these  notes  it  would  seem  that  Henry  Hodge  was  preparing 
to  remove  to  Philadelphia.  That  he  sailed  some  time  between 
March,  1715,  and  January,  or  nth  month  (Old  Style)  of  the  same 
year  is  certain.  The  latter  date  being  the  one  on  which  his  first  wife, 
Frances,  died.  He  became  a  prominent  merchant,  and  often  acted 
as  attorney  for  parties  living  in  Antigua.  In  William  Rawle's 
Ledger,  now  at  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  there  is  an 
account  opened  for  Henry  Hodge  as  attorney  to  Jonas  Langford,  of 
Antigua,  during  the  years  from  1720  to  1726. 

In  1721,  he,  with  a  large  number  of  other  merchants,  signed  an 
agreement  to  take  "  Lyons  Dollars  "  at  5  shillings,  English  crowns  at 
7  shillings  6  pence,  half  crowns  at  3s.  gd.,  English  shillings  at  i8d. 
and   English   sixpence  at  oxl.,   in   proclamation   money   showing  a 


HODGE.  115 

premium  of  fifty  per  cent,  on  sterling  at  this  time  and  making  the 
value  of  the  Pennsylvania  pound  currency,  $3.33.  In  1726  New 
Castle  and  Kent  counties  (now  in  Delaware),  had  a  currency  of 
their  own  uncurrent  in  Philadelphia,  but  many  merchants  advertised 
in  the  "  Mercury  "  agreeing  to  take  bills  of  these  counties.  Henry 
Hodge  was  one  of  this  number,  and  again,  in  1730,  he  offered  to 
take  New  Castle  money  at  par. 

On  October  3rd,  1727,  he  became  one  of  the  Common  Councilmen 
of  the  City  of  Philadelphia.  (See  Scharff  and  Westcott's  "History 
of  Philadelphia.") 

Among  other  property  owned  by  Henry  Hodge  was  what  is  now 
known  as  No.  1015  Clinton  Street,  near  Tenth  and  Spruce  Streets. 
The  following  notes  are  from  the  brief  of  title  to  this  property:

passed  between  Antigua  and  Pennsylvania.  A  few  extracts  are  here 
given :

Martha  B.  Andrews,  of  Darby,  has  in  her  possession  a  small  silver 
mush  bowl,  or  porringer,  which  belonged  to  Henry  and  Frances 
Hodge.  It  is  perhaps  six  inches  across  at  the  top,  and  four  inches 
deep,  with  a  handsome  filigree  worked  handle.  On  the  center  of  the 
handle  are  the  initials  H.  H.  F.  with  the  second  H  above  the  other 
two  letters,  and  between  the  first  H  and  the  F  is  a  star.  Around  the 
upper  outside  surface  of  the  bowl  are  various  hall-marks.  First,  the 
maker's  initials,  a  crown  under  it,  R.  U.  Second,  the  Standard 
(New  Standard  figure  of  Britannia).  Third,  the  Assay  town,  a  lion's 
head  for  London.  Fourth,  for  the  date,  a  B  reversed  for  1646-7. 
On  the  under  side  of  the  handle,  the  lion's  head  is  repeated. 

A  few  other  notes  referring  to  Henry  Hodge,  prior  to  his  removal

HOULSTON 


HOULSTON. 

John  Houlston  was  born  in  or  near  Shrewsbury,  England,  and 
the  family,  at  one  time,  appears  to  have  been  of  importance  in 
Shropshire. 

John  Houlston  was  a  farmer,  and  early  joined  the  Society  of 
Friends.  He  was  at  a  meeting  at  Shrewsbury,  5  December,  1660; 
imprisoned  1664,  and  fined  for  refusing  to  take  the  oath  of  allegiance 
1670;  being  then  in  gaol.  In  1672  he  was  still  in  prison,  but  released 
the  same  year,  having  been  detained  in  the  "  Common  Gaol "  for 
conscience  sake  "about  seven  years"  (Besse's  "Sufferings  of 
Friends  ").  It  appears,  however,  that  his  confinement  was  not  con- 
tinuous, as  he  was  certainly  at  liberty  a  part  of  the  time.  He 
married,  according  to  tradition,  about  1657,  Elizabeth  Serrill,  and 
was  living  at  Heath  House  farm,  in  Stanton,  1660,  at  Abbey  Fore- 
gate,  Shrewsbury,  1663,  and  his  daughter  Martha  was  born  at 
Preston  Boats,  1667.  John  Houlston  removed  to  Pennsylvania  very 
early ;  according  to  tradition  in  the  "  Welcome,"  with  William  Penn, 
in  1682.  The  warrant  of  Survey  to  him  for  250  acres  of  land  in 
Middleton  township  in  the  County  of  Chester,  Pennsylvania,  was 
dated  9  December,  1684,  but  he  was  certainly  in  the  Province  in  the 
Summer  of  1683.  He  died  3  month  12th,  1699,  and  his  wife  3 
month  8th,  1702. 

Children  of  John  Houlston  and  Elizabeth  his  wife: 

John,  born    near    Shrewsbury;    married    in    Pennsylvania,    1684,    Ann 

Gibbs,  and  died  in  Edgmont,  4  month  17th,  1689.     She  was  his 

second  wife. 
Sarah,  born  at  Heath  House  farm,  7  month  8th,   1660;  married,  1685, 

Peter  Taylor. 
Rebecca,        born  at  Abbey  Foregate,  Shrewsbury,  2  month  2d,  1663. 
Martha,       born  at  Preston  Boats,  2  month  1st,  1667;  married,  1686,  David 

Ogden.     (See  "The  Quaker   Ogdens.") 
Elizabeth,    married,  1685,  James  Swafer. 
Rebecca,        married,  1685,  William  Gregory. 

There  are  two  wills  of  John  Houlston,  Jr.,  filed  at  Philadelphia, 
the  second  dated  4  month  17th,  1698.     Both  were  contested  on  the 

grounds  of  the  insanity  of  the  testator. 


i32  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

It  also  appears  that  he  had  two  sons  named  John.  A  son  John, 
by  his  second  wife  Ann  (Gibbs)  was  born  9th  month,  19,  1686 
(Chester  Meeting  Records).  In  his  will  of  4  month,  1686,  he  makes 
his  son  John  executor,  and  this  John  Houlston  was  found  to  be  of 
age  12  month,  25th,  1701-2.  The  second  John  must  have  died  young 
although  his  burial  cannot  be  found.  (See  Vol.  B,  254,  Philadelphia 
Wills.  Of  course  it  is  quite  impossible  that  a  son  of  John  Houlston 
and  Ann  Gibbs,  who  were  married  in  1684,  could  have  been  of  age 
in  1701-2.)  The  third  John  Houlston  died  in  Edgmont,  1732.  Will 
dated  1  August,  1732 ;  proved  16  August,  1732.  He  mentions  wife 
Sarah,  sons  Benjamin  and  John,  and  daughters  Sarah,  Ann,  Eliza- 
beth, Rebecca,  and  Hannah;  son-in-law  John  Ireland  of  the  County 
of  Chester,  and  Cousin  Peter  Taylor.  His  wife  was  a  sister  of 
Samuel  Phipps. 


HOWARD 


HOWARD. 

Henry  Howard  (or  Haworth,  Howarth,  Hayworth),  was  born 
■circa  1689-92.  The  exact  date  and  place  of  his  birth  are  unknown. 
'Gilbert  Cope  of  West  Chester,  Pennsylvania,  in  his  "  Genealogy  of 
the  Sharpless  Family,"  1887,  states,  on  page  136,  that  Henry  Howard 
was  christened  December  22nd,  1689,  at  Lower  Darwen,  Lancashire, 
England,  and  that  he  was  son  of  Richard  Howard  of  that  place.  On 
investigation  this  is  found  to  be  incorrect.  In  fact  the  error  is 
admitted  on  page  934  of  the  same  book;  a  footnote  giving  some 
account  of  the  Howard-Haworth  family  of  Lancashire,  and  showing 
that  the  Henry  Howard,  baptised  in  1689,  was  living  in  Blackburn, 
Lancashire,  married,  and  died  there  in  1728,  leaving  sons  Thomas  anl 
Robert. 

Further  investigation  by  the  writer  during  the  past  few  years,  both 
in  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire,  has  as  yet  thrown  no  light  whatever 
on  the  subject.  The  earliest  record  known  of  Henry  Howard  after  his 
arrival  in  Pennsylvania  is  that  he  resided  at  first  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Darby.  From  here  he  brought  a  certificate  of  removal 
to  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  dated  10th  month  4th,  1717.  This 
states  that  he  had  "  lived  sometime  amongst  us  .  .  .  frequented 
our  meetings.  .  .  .  Clear  from  all  women  in  relation  to  marriage  as 
far  as  we  know."  This  was  signed  by  Richard  Parker,  Jr.,  and 
Josiah  Hobberd,  and  it  indicates  that  prior  to  this  time  he  had 
become  a  Member  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  He  settled  in  Upper 
Providence  Township,  and  purchased  from  William  Willis  of 
Edgmont,  blacksmith,  and  Gaynor  his  wife,  by  deed  of  3rd  month 
1 6th,  1720,  a  tract  of  196  acres  in  Edgmont  and  4  acres  in  Newtown, 
where  he  and  his  wife  settled.  This  land  is  still  in  the  possession  of 
their  descendants,  or  was  in  1887.  The  marriage  certificate  of  Henry 
Howard  is  on  parchment  and  the  following  is  an  extract  of  it,  with 
the  witnesses'  signatures  in  the  order  of  signing,  as  far  as  can  be 
deciphered :

Henry  Howard  received  a  certificate  of  removal  7th  month  30th, 
1734,  on  account  of  having  occasion  "  to  go  to  Great  Britain  to  settle 
some  affairs  and  the  vessel  like  to  sail  before  next  meeting."  He 
having  returned  produced  this  certificate  4th  mo:  30th,  1735,  with

1746. 

Hannah  was  appointed  overseer,  9th  month  26th,  1739,  instead

Elizabeth  Chadwick,  was  born,  February  23rd,  1727,  in  England, 
and  died  in  Philadelphia,  8th  month  7th,  1765.  She  was  a  daughter 
of  John  Chadwick  of  Barnwick,  Yorkshire,  and  his  wife  Isabel 
(Holme).  They  were  members  of  Bentham  Meeting,  Settle  Monthly 
Meeting,  West  Riding  of  Yorkshire.  (Record  from  Devonshire 
House,  Meeting  Books,  London.) 

When  Elizabeth  Chadwick  was  about  to  remove  from  England 
to  Pennsylvania,  she  applied  for  and  received  a  certificate  of  removal 
from  Lancaster  Monthly  Meeting  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  The 
original  is  in  the  fireproof,  in  the  Friends'  Meeting  House  at  the 
corner  of  4th  and  Arch  Streets,  and  is  as  follows : 

To  Friends  in  the  Province  of  Pensilvania.

Peter  Howard,  in  1745,  removed  from  Edgmont  Township  to 
Philadelphia.  His  certificate  of  removal  is  from  Chester  Monthly 
Meeting,  and  is  dated  7th  month  30th,  1745.  About  the  year  1760, 
and  for  sometime  after  his  marriage,  Peter  Howard  lived  on  the 
north  side  of  Chestnut  Street,  somewhere  between  3rd  and  4th

By  his  father's  will  he  received  a  one  third  interest  in  a  farm  of  60 
acres  in  Edgmont  and  Newtown,  which  interest  he  sold  on  January 
17th,  1760,  to  his  brother  James  for  109  pounds.  By  his  mother's 
will  he  received  2  shillings  and  6  pence. 

On  the  22nd  of  March,  1765,  the  Stamp  Act  was  passed  by  Parlia- 
ment, and  on  October  25th  the  merchants  and  traders  of  Philadelphia 
subscribed  to  a  non-importation  agreement.  Peter  Howard's  name 
is  found  among  the  signers. 

Peter  Howard  married  secondly,  12th  month  31st,  1767,  at  Phila- 
delphia Meeting,  Sarah  Price  daughter  of  Robert  Osborn  of  Phila- 
delphia. She  died  7th  month  16th,  1773,  aged  46.  During  the  latter 
part  of  his  life,  Peter  Howard  lived  in  and  kept  the  "Blue  Anchor

HUNT. 


HUNT. 

James  Hunt  was  born  about  1640,  perhaps  between  that  and 
the  year  1650.  The  exact  date  and  place  of  his  birth  are  unkuown. 
At  the  time  of  his  removal  to  Pennsylvania,  in  or  about  1684,  he  was 
a  resident  of  Kent.  It  is  presumed,  therefore,  that  he  was  a  native 
of  that  county,  as  the  name  is  found  therein  at  and  after  the  time  of 
his  birth.  He  became  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends',  and  died 
on  his  farm  in  Kingsessing,  within  the  limits  of  Darby  Monthly 
Meeting  1st  month  31st,  1717.  The  names  of  his  parents  cannot  be 
stated  with  any  certainty ;  but  as  he  was  identified  with  the  Parish  of 
Bearstead,  the  following  entry  from  J.  Meadows  Cowper's  "  Canter- 
bury Marriage  Allegations,"  may  relate  to  them. 

Thomas  Hunt  of  Berstead,  yeoman,  widower  and  Catherine  Colter  of  the 
same  parish,  widow  of  Henry  Colter  late  deceased  at  the  same.  John  Allen 
of  the  same  parish  yoeman  and  Richard  Hardres  of  Canterbury,  clothworker, 
bondsmen  April  24th,  1637. 

The  parish  registers  of  Bearstead  do  not  begin  until  1659,  a  date 
too  late  to  give  any  information  as  to  the  baptism  of  James  Hunt. 

Lewis's  Topographical  Dictionary  of  England  has  the  following 
account  of  this  parish. 

"Bearstead  (Holy  Cross),  a  parish  in  the  union  of  Maidstone, 
hundred  of  Eyhorne,  lathe  of  Aylesford,  Western  Division  of  the 
county  of  Kent,  two  and  one  half  miles  east  from  Maidstone.  The 
living  is  a  discharged  vicarage,  valued  in  the  king's  books  at  £6.  7.  4 ; 
present  net  income  £191;  patrons  and  appropriators  Dean  and 
Chapter  of  Rochester.    A  fair  is  held  here  on  September  14th." 

James  Hunt  was  married  three  times.  Gilbert  Cope,  of  West 
Chester,  writes  as  follows  under  date  of  9th  month  15th,  1893: 
"James  Hunt's  1st  wife  was  Eliza,  daughter  of  John  Chambers, 
brother  of  Benjamin  Chambers  of  Philadelphia,  from  the  parish 
of  Bearstead  in  Kent.  She  had  a  sister  Elizabeth  who  married 
Matthew  Clemison  and  Stephen  Jackson.  James  Hunt  was  also 
from  Bearstead." 

He  was  a  widower  when  he  arrived  in  Pennsylvania.

surveyed  as  they  now  Lye  Contiguous  in  One  Tract,  and  found  to  Contain 
2,470  acres  in  the  whole. 

Here  follows  another  transaction  in  land  in  which  James  Hunt 
was  interested  (page  298  of  vol.  cited  supra).  It  seems  to  relate  to 
the  farm  on  which  he  settled  and  on  which  he  lived,  during  the  latter 
part  of  his  life,  and  where  he  died. 

James  Hunt  Claiming  75  Acres,  one  Moiety  of  150  Acres,  granted  by

Also  91  A's  purchased  of  the  Widdow  Dolby,  Peter  and  Wm,  Dolby  and 
John  Masset  by  Deed  dated  29th  12  mo.,  1687,  granted  to  Peter  Dalbo  in  3 
parcels,  one  of  50,  one  of  20,  and  one  of  10  Acres,  by  Patent  from  Fr.  Love- 
lace dated  18th  Feb'y  '72,  Request  Resurvey  on  the  said  266  Acres  together 
with  a  Tract  of  45  Acres  of  Meadow  or  Marsh  adjoyn'ng,  for  which  he 
obtained  a  Warrant  from  the  Commiss're  dated  14th  4th  1690,  for  1/3  of  the 
Meadow  between  Kingsesson  Creek  and  Land  Creek.  Ordered  that  a  War- 
rant of  Resurvey  be  granted  to  the  said  James  Hunt  for  the  said  266  Acres, 
and  that  the  said  Marsh  be  also  resurvey'd  without  making  any  Manner  of 
Title  to  any  more  than  the  said  266  Acres. 

According  to  the  plan  of  the  Proprietary,  the  first  purchasers 
were  to  be  entitled  to  have  certain  plots  of  ground  allotted  to  them 
in  the  City  proper.  The  following  relates  to  James  Hunt's  City  lot 
(from  page  32  of  the  same  Series  of  the  Pennsylvania  Archives 
already  cited).

Benj.  Chambers  Requesting  that  he  might  have  100  foot  in  breadth  Joyning 
to  the  N.  E.  part  of  James  Hunt's  Lott  on  the  bank  of  the  Proprietor's  Land 
at  the  North  End  of  Philad'a,  It  was  granted  him  he  being  obliged  to  Leave 
40  foot  for  a  Street  through  it  from  one  Street  to  the  other." 

James  Hunt's  farm  was  situate  in  Kingsessing,  along  what  was 
known  as  Minquas  Kill,  or  Creek,  afterwards  called  Mingos  Creek, 
and  near  where  the  present  Island  Road  crosses  the  stream  adjacent 
to  Bell  Road  Station  on  the  Chester  Branch  of  the  Philadelphia  and 
Reading  R.  R.  and  is  now  in  the  southern  part  of  the  27th  Ward  of 
the  City  of  Philadelphia. 

Minquas  Kill  in  early  times  was  of  quite  a  good  size.  In  fact  it 
formed  one  of  the  mouths  of  the  River  Schuylkill,  emptying  into 
the  Muckruton  or  Darby  Creek,  and  so  along  the  shores  of  Tinicum 
Island  into  the  Delaware  River.  Branching  off  from  Minquas 
Creek  are  several  small  creeks  or,  more  correctly  speaking,  were 
several  small  creeks,  such  as  Church  and  Bow,  the  latter  running  into 
Darby  Creek.  Although  the  land  at  the  present  day  is  marshy,  most 
of  these  creeks  are  known  in  name  only.  On  9th  month  10th,  1686, 
James  Hunt  married  for  his  second  wife  at  "  ye  house  of  John 
Blunston,"  Elizabeth  Bonsall. 

Elizabeth  Bonsall  died  in  Darby  on  6th  month  28th,  1703,  and  it 
is  believed  that  she  was  one  of  the  daughters  of  George  and  Hannah

Wood  of  the  above  place.    The  exact  date  of  her  birth  has  not  been 
ascertained,  but  was  about  1655. 

The  following  names  of  the  witnesses  to  the  marriage  certificate 
of  James  Hunt  and  Elizabeth  Bonsall  are  taken  from  a  MS.  account 
of  the  Bonsall  Family  prepared  by  Spencer  Bonsall,  and  deposited 
at  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania.  In  this  MS.  however, 
Spencer  Bonsall  does  not  correctly  name  the  parents  of  Elizabeth 
Bonsall.

The  marriage  certificate  does  not  say  whether  Elizabeth  Bonsall 
was  a  widow  or  not,  neither  does  it  state  that  James  Hunt  was  a 
widower ;  but  this  is  known  to  be  so.  It  is  believed,  for  reasons  to  be 
given,  that  Elizabeth  Bonsall  was  a  daughter  of  George  and  Hannah 
Wood  of  Darby. 

In  the  first  place,  it  will  be  noted  that  in  the  marriage  certificate, 
the  men  sign  by  themselves.  The  first  man  to  sign  being  George 
Wood,  the  next  his  son,  John  Wood.  These  were  undoubtedly  near 
relatives  of  either  the  bride  or  groom.  There  is  no  evidence  extant 
to  show  that  they  were  related  to  James  Hunt,  but  on  the  other  hand 
there  is  very  strong  evidence  that  they  were  near  relations  of  Eliza- 
beth Bonsall.  The  next  name  is  that  of  Richard  Bonsall ;  he  had 
married  Mary,  another  daughter  of  George  and  Hannah  Wood, 
previous  to  his  removal  to  Pennsylvania.  The  next  signer  was  John 
Blunston  at  whose  house  the  marriage  took  place,  and  the  others 
were  friends,  or  perhaps  distant  relatives.  Now,  turning  to  the 
women  signers ;  the  first  name  is  Mary,  wife  of  Richard  Bonsall, 
daughter  of  George  Wood.  The  next  is  Elinor  Wood,  another 
daughter  of  George  Wood,  who  afterwards  married  Evan  Bevan,  at

Darby  nth  month  3rd  (  ?),  1693.  Elin  Garrett  signs  next,  but  what 
relation  if  any  to  the  bride  or  groom  has  not  developed.  Anne 
Garret  and  Dorothy  Smith  were  the  overseers  appointed  by  Darby 
Monthly  Meeting  to  see  that  the  marriage  was  conducted  in  accord- 
ance with  the  good  order  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

At  the  time  of  the  marriage  of  Evan  Bevan  and  Elinor  Wood,  the 
former  being  of  Haverford,  bachelor,  and  she  of  Darby,  at  Darby 
Meeting  nth  month  9th,  1693,  the  men  signed  as  follows: 

(The  women  signed  as  under  here  given) 
John   Bevan  Ann  Bevan  Rebecca    Fearn 

George  Wood  Elizabeth   Bevan  Ellin   Gibbin 

John  Wood  Ellin  Garrat  Mary   Bartram

John  Blunston. 

John  Bevan  was  the  father  of  Evan  Bevan,  George  Wood  was 
the  father  of  Ellinor  Wood,  John  Wood  was  brother  to  Ellinor 
Wood,  John  Bevan,  Jr.,  was  a  brother  of  Evan  Bevan,  and  James 
Hunt  appears  as  a  near  connection  of  the  bride.  As  already 
stated  he  married  a  sister  of  the  bride,  who  was  the  widow  of  a  man 
named  Bonsall.  To  further  confirm  this,  James  Hunt  in  his  will, 
which  will  be  referred  to  in  full  later,  says :  "  I  do  constitute  and 
appoint  my  brother-in-law  John  Wood,  and  friend  Thomas  Paschall, 
Overseers."  George  Wood  in  his  will,  which  will  also  be  referred 
to  in  full  later,  mentions  having  daughters,  Mary,  Elizabeth,  and 
Elinor  (without  giving  their  married  names),  and  son  John.  This 
is  pretty  conclusive  evidence  that  James  Hunt's  second  wife  was 
widow  of  a  man  named  Bonsall,  perhaps  a  brother  to  Richard  Bon- 
sall, and  that  she  was  one  of  the  daughters  of  George  Wood.  After- 
wards, for  his  third  wife,  James  Hunt  married,  1707,  Sarah  Wild- 
man,  of  Falls  Township,  Bucks  County.  From  Darby  Monthly 
Meeting  Minute  Book  we  find  that  James  Hunt  and  Sarah  Wildman 
declare  their  intentions  of  marriage  a  second  time,  10th  month  3rd, 
1707.  She  outlived  him,  and  is  believed  to  have  removed  to  her 
former  home  in  Bucks  County,  for  she  received  a  certificate  of 
removal  from  Darby,  7th  month  4th,  1717.

In  the  first  tax  list  for  Philadelphia  County,  1693,  James  Hunt  is 
assessed  in  that  part  of  the  Province  set  apart  for  the  inhabitants  of 
the  Welsh  Tract  and  the  Swedes;  it  was  near  the  settlement  of  the 
latter  that  James  Hunt  lived  in  Kingsessing. 

There  is  no  record  of  James  Hunt  having  filled  any  public  posi- 
tion or  held  office ;  he  appears,  however,  to  have  been  a  consistent 
member  of  the  Religious  Society  to  which  he  belonged.  Two  days 
before  his  death,  he  made  his  will,  which  is  dated  the  29th  of  first 
month,  1717  (March),  and  proved  April  3rd,  1717.  The  following 
is  an  abstract  of  it:

less, born  on  their  father's  farm  at  Kingsessing. 


JARMAN 


JARMAN. 

John  Jarman  was  born  in  the  parish  of  Llangurig,  Montgomery- 
shire, and  was,  Mr.  Lloyd  supposes,  son  of  Arthur  Jarman  of  the 
same  parish,  and  Audrey,  daughter  of  David  Lloyd  of  Llangurig. 
He  removed  to  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  in  1683,  bringing  with 
him  the  following  certificate  of  removal: 

Radnorshire. 

Att  or  mens  meeting  ye  20th  of  the  5th  month,  1683.  Whereas  or  frind

The  following  copies  and  abstracts  of  documents  are  cited  in 
proof  of  the  Jarman  and  Lloyd  pedigrees ;  but,  as  will  appear,  there 
is  a  doubt  as  to  whether  John  Jarman,  son  of  Arthur  and  Audrey, 
is  identical  with  the  John  Jarman  who  removed  to  Pennsylvania. 

Administration  Letters  on  the  personal  estate  of  Arthur  Jarman  of  the 
parish  of  Llangurick  (Llangurig)  in  the  County  of  Montgomery,  Gentle- 
men,  were   granted   to   Audrey   Jarmon,   widow   and   relict   of   deceased,   4

i44  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

October,  1662.  Surities:  David  Jenkin  of  Llangurick  and  John  David  of 
Llanidloes,  Gentlemen.  Witnesses  to  Bond:  Humphrey  Davies  and  Morris 
Evans  (Probate  Registry,  Bangor). 

(Arthur  Jarman  had  been  one  of  the  Chief  Constables  of  Mont- 
gomeryshire; see  Montg.  Colls.,  viii,  243.) 

Nuncupative  Will  of  Audrey  Jarman,  of  the  parish  of  Llangurig,  dated 
25th  November  1675 ;  proved  27  January,  1676.  To  her  eldest  daughter  Alice, 
£50.  To  her  youngest  daughter  Ursula  £30.  She  leaves  all  the  rest  of  her 
estate  to  her  only  son  John  Jarman,  who  is  sole  executor. 
Overseers :  Kinsman  Evan  Davies  of  St.  Harmon  in  the  County  of  Brecon 
(Radnor).  Witnesses  to  declaration:  Evan  Davies  and  Morgan  Lloyd. 
Witnesses:  Edward  Watkin,  Thomas  James  and  Morris  Lloyd.  (Probate 
Registry,  Bangor.) 

(This  John  Jarman  was  of  age  in  1676,  as  letters  were  issued  to 
him  as  executor,  instead  of  the  appointment  of  someone  to  serve  in 
his  place  until  his  majority,  which  was  the  usual  procedure  when 
the  executor  named  was  a  minor.) 

The  John  Jarman  who  removed  to  Pennsylvania  joined  the 
Society  of  Friends  about  1676-7;  and  was  then  living  at  Llanidloes, 
adjoining  Llangurig  parish. 

The  following  from  Exchequer  Bills  and  Answers  for  Mont- 
gomeryshire, 2  George  I,  relate  to  a  suit  to  recover  possession  of 
certain  lands  which  had  belonged  to  Evan  Lloyd,  the  brother  of 
Audrey  Jarman.  There  can  be  no  doubt  whatever  as  to  the  identity 
of  the  persons  named,  but  the  dates  given  in  the  statement  by  the 
plaintiff  are  strangely  erroneous.  Audrey  Jarman  died  in  1676,  not 
1692,  and  could  not,  therefore,  have  been  alive  in  1687,  as  stated 
in  the  Bill.  Nor  could  her  son  John  Jarmon,  if  he  was  identical 
with  John  Jarmon  who  removed  to  Pennsylvania,  have  attempted  to 
lease  the  premises  in  question  in  1700,  as  the  latter  died  in  Pennsyl- 
vania in  1697.  His  heirs,  however,  might  have  attempted  to  do  so. 
The  discrepancies  in  some  of  the  dates  are  explained  by  the  fact  that 
this  suit  was  instituted  40  years  after  Audrey's  death.  One  of  the 
dates,  that  of  the  death  of  Evan  Lloyd,  which  is  stated  to  have 
occurred  in  1698  or  1699,  is  corrected  in  the  "Answer"  to  1702. 
The  real  difficulty,  however,  is  that  the  petitioner  states  that  John 
Jarmon,  son  of  Audrey,  is  still  (i.  e.,  2  George  II)  in  possession 
of  one  of  the  premises  in  question,  and  refuses  to  deliver  it  up,  yet 
the  John  Jarman  who  removed  from  Llangurig  to  Pennsylvania,  at 


JARMAN.  145 

the  time  the  Bill  was  prepared,  had  long  been  dead.  Radnor  Records 
record  his  burial  12  mo.  14th,  1697.  His  son  John,  however,  may 
have  been  intended  to  be  meant.  The  latter  visited  Wales  several 
times  about  the  time  this  suit  was  pending. 

Exchequer  B.  &  A. 
2  Geo.  I.     Montgomery. 

No.  5.  Maurice  Lloyd  v.  Jenkin  Lloyd. 

Sheweth  that  Petitioner  Maurice  Lloyd  of  the  parish  of  Llangirick  co., 
Montgomery  is  the  eldest  son  and  heir  of  Evan  Lloyd  who  was  son  and  heir 
of  David  Lloyd  both  of  the  same  parish  and  both  deceased. 

Whereas  David  Lloyd  Petitioners  grandfather  being  in  his  lifetime  about 
1671  seized  as  of  fee  simple  of  several  messuages,  lands,  &c,  as  follows: 
One  Messuage  called  Havod  y  feddgar  in  Llangirick  and  another  called 
Llast  y  Tant  in  the  same  parish  &  another  called  Dythyny  ty  Mawre  same 
parish  all  of  the  value  of  £30  per  ann. 

In  consideration  of  a  marriage  then  to  be  had  between  Evan  Lloyd  son 
of  David  and  Mary  Williams  daughter  of  Lewis  Williams  of  Llewyn 
Rhuddod  gent,  deceased,  who  were  Petitioners  father  and  mother,  David 
Lloyd  did  settle  all  the  said  premises  upon  certain  trustees  upon  himself  for 
life  and  afterwards  upon  his  son  and  the  heirs  of  his  body  &  for  want 
of  such  heirs  to  Maurice  Lloyd  his  the  said  Davids  2d  son  &  the  heirs  of 
his  body  &  for  want  of  such  heirs  to  the  right  heirs  of  himself  David. 

He  the  said  David  died  in  1681  and  he  did  not  alter  this  settlement  but  con- 
firmed it  on  his  deathbed.  Evan  Lloyd  died  in  1698  or  99  without  a  Will 
when  the  property  ought  to  have  come  to  Petitioner  but  his  father  having 
left  no  personal  property  &  Petitioner  being  very  poor  was  unable  to  assert 
his  rights  to  his  uncle  Maurice  Lloyd  took  possession  of  the  property  and 
kept  it  till  his  death  in  1706  and  upon  his  death  his  widow  Jane  Lloyd  took 
part  of  it  and  the  rest  went  to  Jenkin  Lloyd  eldest  son  of  Maurice  who  have 
enjoyed  it  ever  since  under  some  pretended  deed  of  Mortgage  said  to  have 
been  made  in  1681  by  Evan  Lloyd  for  the  sum  of  £50  which  being  unpaid 
they  declare  that  the  whole  estate  is  forfeited  to  them.  Petitioner  says  the 
money  was  paid  and  the  deed  ought  to  have  been  delivered  up  and  cancelled. 
Defendants  hold  all  the  deeds  and  papers  relating  to  the  property. 

The  witnesses  who  could  have  proved  the  truth  of  these  things  are  either 
dead  or  gone  beyond  seas.

146  »  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

Try  yor  Dre  Llandiloes  of  the  value  of  £40  per  an.  He  died  in  1681  having 
settled  the  property  upon  Evan  Lloyd  his  son  &  heir  &  the  heirs  of  his 
body. 

Evan  borrowed  £50  from  his  brother  Maurice  (2A  son  of  David)  and  as 
security  for  payment  conveyed  to  him  1  tenement  in  Llangirick  subject  to 
redemption  on  payment  of  £50  which  was  paid  but  the  deed  was  lost.  Peti- 
tioners father  put  him  in  possession  of  some  of  the  lands  until  1687  when 
Evan  suffered  his  sister  Audrey  Jarman  to  receive  the  rents  of  the  premises 
in  Llandiloes  during  her  life  to  maintain  her  and  bring  up  her  son  John 
Jarman  the  rents  of  which  she  received  till  1692  when  she  died.  The  prop- 
erty should  then  have  returned  to  Evan  Lloyd  but  John  Jarman  being  poor 
was  allowed  to  continue  in  possession  to  1698  or  9  when  Evan  Lloyd  died 
giving  strict  charge  that  John  Jarman  was  to  quite  possession  which  he  still 
refuses  to  do. 

Petitioner  being  very  poor  at  the  time  of  his  father's  death  could  not  assert 
his  rights,  the  rest  of  his  property  being  detained  by  his  uncle  and  his  cousin 
Jenkin  Who  together  with  Sidney  Wilson  (Jekins  father-in-law)  refuse  to 
give  up  the  property  or  make  any  compensation  to  Petitioner  or  let  him  see 
any  deeds  relating  to  the  property. 

ANSWER  OF  JANE  LLOYD,  DEFENDANT. 

Jane  Lloyd  says  it  is  true  that  Petitioner's  grandfather  David  Lloyd  was 
seized  of  the  premises  in  1671  but  they  are  now  only  worth  £18:  10:0  per  an. 

She  believes  there  was  no  marriage  settlement  but  the  property  did  descend 
to  Evan  Lloyd  who  held  it  till  1702  when  he  died  and  not  in  1698  or  99.  Evan 
Lloyd  was  very  poor  at  the  time  of  his  death  and  left  no  personal  estate 
which  she  believes  was  the  reason  why  the  Petitioner  did  not  assert  his 
rights  sooner  and  had  he  applied  to  her  without  putting  her  to  this  trouble 
she  would  have  done  him  justice  herein. 

She  only  holds  Llyast  y  Pant  which  is  worth  £4:  10:  o  per  an.  the  rest 
is  in  the  possession  of  her  son  Jenkin  who  has  held  it  since  his  father's  death 
in  1707  and  had  he  obeyed  his  father's  dying  request  he  would  have  given  it 
up  to  Petitioner. 

She  believes  that  David  Lloyd  charged  Evan  to  let  the  property  descend  to 
his  heir  but  Evan  mortgaged  it  to  Mrs  Stedman  for  what  amount  she  does  not 
know,  but  believes  her  husband  paid  and  discharged  it  by  virtue  of  which 
the  premises  were  possessed  by  them. 

The  statement  of  the  petitioner  in  above  bill,  that  John  Jarman 
fin  2  George  II)  "still  refuses"  to  quit  possession,  may,  of  course, 
as  above  noted,  refer  to  his  legal  representatives;  but  this  is  doubt- 
ful, and  the  above  cited  records,  transcripts  of  which  Mr.  Lloyd 
received,  apparently,  just  before  his  death,  throw  considerable  doubt 
upon  the  supposition  that  John  Jarman  who  removed  to  Pennsyl- 


JARMAN.  147 

vania  in  1683,  was  a  son  of  Arthur  and  Audrey,  especially  as  the 
Jarmans  were  a  numerous  family  in  the  neighbourhood  of  Llangurig. 

The  name  was  often  spelled,  both  in  Wales  and  Pennsylvania, 
Jerman,  German,  Gurmon,  Germon,  etc.  The  pedigree  of  Audrey 
Lloyd,  wife  of  Arthur  Jarman,  is  briefly  as  follows: 

As  stated,  John  Jarmon  died  in  Pennsylvania  in  1697,  leaving 
a  widow,  Margaret,  to  whom  a  warrant  for  153  acres  of  land  in 
Radnor  Township,  was  issued  25  October,  1703.  (Ashmead's  "  Del- 
aware County,"  p.  680.) 

Will  of  Margaret  Jerman  of  Radnor,  in  the  County  of  Chester, 
Pennsylvania,  widow.  Dated  23  Dec,  1731 ;  proved  13  June,  1741. 
She  mentions  her  son  John  Jerman,  to  whom  she  leaves  the  planta- 
tion she  now  lives  on  in  Radnor  "  the  same  that  was  confirmed  to 
me  by  Patent."  Daughters,  Margaret,  Priscilla,  Elizabeth  and  Sarah 
— grandchild  Solomon  Thomas.  Witnesses :  John  Morgan,  John 
Cruss,  Thomas  Thomas. 

Children  of  John  Jarman  and  Margaret  his  wife : 

John,  born  9th  month  12th,  1684;  died  7th  month,  16th,  1769;  married, 

first,  Ann  ?;  secondly,  Mary.  .  .  . 

Margaret,    born  7th  month,  9th,  1687;  married  David  Evan. 

Elizabeth,   born  9th  month  16th,  1691 ;  married  2d  month  28th,  1712,  Peter 

Taylor,  Jr. 
Sarah,  born  12th  month,  14th,  1695;  married  Thomas  Thomas. 

Priscilla,     married  Joseph  Thomas,  of  Newcastle,  Delaware  County. 

Mr.  Lloyd's  notes  express  doubt  as  to  whether  the  above  list  of 
children  of  John  and  Margaret  Jarmon  is  complete ;  but  he  says 
that  John,  Jr.,  had  no  son  Lewis  as  stated  in  the  Walker  Genealogy. 

Lewis  Jarmon  from  Llangurig,  Montgomeryshire,  probably  a 
kinsman  of  John,  was  in  Chester  County,  Pennsylvania,  before  1715, 
and  Edward  Jarman,  or  Jerman,  from  the  same  neighbourhood,  was 
early  in  Philadelphia. 

John  Jarman,  Jr.,  visited  Wales  several  times.  There  are  records 
of  his  application  for  certificates  for  such  journeys,  8th  month  8th, 
1713,  2d  month  8th,  1714,  8th  month,  1718,  and  9th  month,  1720. 
(It  is  practically  certain  that  he  was  in  Wales  at  the  time  the  suit 
was  brought  to  dispossess  John  Jarmon  and  the  Lloyds  of  Llangurig, 
2  George  II ;  but  whether  the  suit  was  actually  against  him,  and  the 
Bill  carelessly  omitted  to  state  that  John  Jarmon,  St.,  was  dead,  or 
whether  the  petitioner  confused  John,  Jr.,  with  his  father,  supposing 


148  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

the  latter  still  alive  in  Pennsylvania,  it  is  impossible  from  the  evi- 
dence before  us  to  decide.) 

The  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania  has  several  of  the  alma- 
nacs that  were  prepared  or  edited  by  John  Jerman,  Jr.  The  first 
issued  by  him  was  for  the  year  1721.  The  Society  has  one  for  that 
year,  as  well  as  those  for  1743,  1746,  1751,  1752,  1755,  1758  and 
1760.  That  for  1751,  has  on  the  Title  Page,  "The  American  Alma- 
nack for  the  Year  of  Christian  Account,  1751,  By  John  Jerman, 
Philm,  Philadelphia,  printed  by  B.  Franklin  and  D.  Hall."  For 
1 72 1  (the  first  one  issued)  the  introductory  is  as  follows.  "An 
Ephermeris  for  the  Year  1721  or  an  Almanack  containing  the 
Motions  and  Aspects  of  the  Planets  &c.    By  John  Jerman,  A.S." 

Friendly  Reader: — • 

I  have  here  composed  an  Almanack  or  Ephemeris  for  this  Year  1721 ; 
Containing  the  Planets  Motions  every  day  at  noon,  which  I  thought  would 
be  of  most  use  and  service  to  all  Young  Students.  The  Sun  and  Moon  are 
to  Degrees  and  Minutes,  but  the  other  five  planets  and  Dragon's  Head  only 
to  Degrees,  which  is  sufficient  for  any  ordinary  use.  I  have  also  judged 
the  Weather  according  to  the  judgment  of  Authors,  together  with  something 
of  my  own  Experience  therein,  but  there  is  no  mortal  man  dare  be  precisely 
positive  in  things  of  this  nature;  and  the  Reason  is  that  many  times  several 
Aspects  and  Positions  of  Planets  in  signs  of  contrary  Natures  happen  at  or 
near  the  same  time,  which  must  needs  cause  different  Qualities  in  the  Air  and 
Weather.  Other  reasons  might  be  urged,  but  this  in  my  mind  is  one  of  the 
chief.  I  have  also  made  a  small  Hint  of  the  Effects  of  the  Eclipses,  this 
Year,  and  of  the  Sun's  Entrance  into  the  four  Cardinal  Points,  which  is 
customary  to  be  done,  and  appertaining  to  this  subject:  But  how  things  may 
be  Time  will  evince  that,  I  have  followed  Ancients  Opinions  therein,  and 
judged  accordingly  as  I  found  the  Positions  and  Aspects  of  the  Planets  at 
the  said  Times,  and  now  I  shall  conclude,  wishing  thee  Joy  and  Prosperity, 
both  here  and  hereafter.    Thine  to  serve,  J.  J. 

Kind  and  friendly  Readers  all.

John  Jerman. 

The  "Pennsylvania  Chronicle,"  for  the  week  July  17-July  24 
(1769?),  page  218,  has  the  following  obituary  on  John  Jerman,  Jr. 

"  On  Sunday  the  16th  instant,  departed  this  life  in  Radnor  Township 
Chester  County,  Mr.  John  Jerman,  Philomath,  in  the  85th  year  of  his  age, 
and  on  Thursday  morning  following,  his  remains  were  interred,  attended 
by  a  number  of  his  relations  and  neighbours.  He  was  the  first  male  child  of 
European  parents,  born  in  said  township.  A  gentleman  well  known  for  his 
astronomical  calculations." 


JENKINS-GRIFFITH 


JENKINS-GRIFFITH. 


William  Jenkins  was  born  in  Pembrokeshire,  Wales,  1648. 
The  names  of  his  parents,  have  not  been  ascertained.  He  died 
within  the  limits  of  Abington  Monthly  Meeting,  Pennsylvania,  4th 
month  7'th,  1712.  The  entry  in  the  book  of  Burials  and  Deaths  of 
that  Monthly  Meeting  states  that  his  age  was  about  54,  but  this  must 
be  an  error,  and  no  doubt  it  should  be  64.  If  he  had  been  but  54 
in  1712,  the  year  of  his  birth  would  have  been  1658,  and  as  he  was 
married  in  1673,  he  would  at  that  time  have  been  but  15  years  old.1 
In  his  will,  which  will  be  given  on  a  future  page,  he  mentions  having 
grandchildren,  which  being  the  case  if  he  was  only  54  at  the  time 
of  his  death,  he  certainly  would  have  been  an  unusually  young 
grandfather. 

He  married  at  Tenby,  Pembrokeshire,  South  Wales,  Elizabeth 
daughter  of  Lewis  Griffith.  Here  follows  an  extract  of  the  entry 
of  this  marriage  in  the  original  book  deposited  at  Somerset  House.

Elizabeth  Griffith,  or  Elizabeth  daughter  of  Lewis  Griffith,  was 
born  in  Pembrokeshire,  doubtless  in  the  Town  of  Tenby,  in  1652, 
and  died  in  Pennsylvania,  nth  month  18th,  1725.  An  entry  in  the 
Say  Family  Bible,  a  copy  of  which  has  been  sent  to  the  writer  by 
Mrs.  F.  C.  Gilmore  of  San  Francisco,  California,  states  that  Eliza- 
beth Jenkins  died  on  "  Tuesday  18th  of  January,  1725-6,  aged 
about  93."  The  18th  of  January,  1725-6,  corresponds  with  nth 
month  18th  (Old  Style),  1725,  but  the  age  as  given  as  93  should 
undoubtedly  be  y^,  making  the  year  of  her  birth  1652.  If  she  had 
been  93  at  the  time  of  her  death  she  would  have  been  born  in  the 
year  1632  and  therefore  41  years  old  at  the  time  of  her  marriage. 
As  she  had  a  child  born  in  1680  she  would  have  been  at  that  time 
48  years  old.1 

William  Jenkins  was  an  original  purchaser  of  land  and  came  from 
Tenby  in  South  Wales.  This  place  (Dynbych-y-pyscod)  is  a  parish 
including  the  In-Liberty  and  the  Out-Liberty,  the  former  constitut- 
ing the  borough,  and  comprising  the  sea-port,  market-town,  and 
watering-place,  of  Tenby.  It  is  in  the  hundred  of  Narberth,  union 
and  county  of  Pembroke,  10  miles  east  from  Pembroke,  20  miles 
southeast  from  Haverford-west.  There  is  quite  a  long  description 
of  this  place  in  Lewis's  Topographical  Dictionary  of  Wales,  of 
which  the  above  is  an  extract. 

In  Minute  Book  I  of  the  Board  of  Property,  under  date  of  nth 
month  6th,  172 1,  there  is  an  entry  relating  to  the  purchase  that 
William  Jenkins  made  (Pennsylvania  Archives,  Second  Series,  Vol. 
xix,  page  710). 

The  Prop'r,  by  Deeds  dated  the  25,  8b'r,  1681,  granted  to  Wm.  Jenkins  1000 
acres  of  Land  in  this  Province,  of  Tenby,  Coun.,  Pembroke,  Emasculator. 
Wm.  Jenkins,  by  Indent'rs  dated  ye  3,  7,  1686,  for  £11,  Money  of  Engl'd, 
granted  to  Francis  Howel,  of  Llancilio,  in  the  County  of  Carmarthen.  500 
acres  of  the  same  with  the  Proportion  of  lib.  Land  and  the  moiety  of  the 
City  Lot. 

1  This  is  not  impossible,  nor  is  the  difference  between  her  stated  age  and  that 
of  her  husband.     Many  such  cases  are  of  record.

to  Thomas  Simmonds  500  a's,  whose  Son,  John  Simmonds,  after  his  Father's 
Decease,  Granted  the  said  500  a's  To  Thomas  Merchant,  who  by  an  Instru- 
ment dated  15th  2  mo.,  1694,  constituted  the  said  Will'm  Jenkins  his  attorney. 
Wm  Jenkins  by  Vertue  of  his  Said  Purchase  of  1000  acres  of  which  20  a's  is 
Liberty  Land,  and  by  Vertue  of  the  said  Letter  of  attorney,  in  behalf  of 
Thomas  Merchant,  and  in  right  of  the  said  500  a's  (to  which  10  acres  Lib. 
Land  belongs)  convey'd  30  acres,  the  Proportion  of  both  the  said  Purchasers, 
to  said  William  Edwards. 

Part  of  this  land  was  near  the  present  Frazer  Station  on  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  in  East  Whiteland,  Chester  County.  Of  the 
500  acres  referred  to  as  being  granted  to  Francis  Howell,  300  were 
laid  out  at  Duffrin  Mawr,  the  Great  Valley  of  Chester  Valley. 
William  Jenkins  with  his  wife  and  family  arrived  in  the  Province 
prior  to  the  "  1st  of  ye  2nd  mo,  1685,"  for  in  the  court  records  of 
Chester  County,  he  was  on  that  date  appointed  to  serve  as  a  juror 
from  Haverford.  His  farm  was  located  in  Haverford  Township, 
near  the  centre  of  the  West  line  of  that  township,  and  a  short  dis- 
tance east  of  Darby  Creek,  off"  of  the  West  Chester  Turnpike.  Here 
he  resided  until  the  year  1697,  when  he  removed  to  Abington.  He 
at  once  became  interested  in  the  welfare  of  his  fellow  colonists,  and 
at  different  times  served  in  public  offices.  His  name  is  attached  to 
the  petition  sent  by  William  Markham,  to  the  proprietary,  praying 
for  certain  rights  in  the  Welsh  Tract.    This  is  dated, 

"  Philadelphia  the  23d,  2d  mo.  1688."  "...  That  they  yo'r  Pet'rs  should 
have  ab't  forty  thousand  acres  of  Land  contiguously  layd  out  as  a  Barony  and 
that  they  should  not  be  obliged  to  answer  nor  serve  in  any  Co'rt  whatso- 
ever but  should  have  Co'rts  &  magistrates  of  their  owne  ..."  (Futhey  & 
Cope's  "  History  of  Chester  County,"  page  29,  &c.) 

On  10th  month  8th,  1691,  he  appears  as  a  Justice  of  the  Peace. 
In  1693  the  Court  Records  state  that 

"John  Simcocke,  John  Bristow,  George  Meriss  (Maris)  &  William  Jenkins, 
former  Justices  of  the  Peace  in  the  Countie  of  Chester  did  give  a  dilatorie 
answer  to  his  Excell :  proposall  to  have  them  continued  in  that  office." 

In  the  first  tax  list  for  Chester  County,  1693,  in  the  Township  of 
Haverford,  William  Jenkins  is  taxed  £00.  .03.  .09.     He  became  a

years  1692  &c.  (See  Unpublished  Minutes  of  The  Provincial

In  the  proceedings  of  the  Provincial  Council  held  at  Philadelphia 
1 6th,  9br,  1703,  it  will  be  found  that  he  was  one  of  a  committee  of 
six  from  Philadelphia  County  appointed  to  view  "  the  said  two 
Roads  as  now  laid  out  or  intended  in  ye  County  of  Chester  &  view- 
ing also  ye  Ground  between  ye  sd  Roads  &  Philada  &  between 
Goshen  and  Brandywine." 

In  1697  William  Jenkins  removed  from  Haverford  to  Abington. 
His  name  appears  in  Abington  Monthly  Meeting  Minutes,  10th 
month  27th,  1697,  being  appointed  with  Joseph  Phipps  to  solicit 
subscriptions  in  Philadelphia  towards  the  erection  of  the  new 
Meeting  House.  His  plantation  in  Abington  Township  was  situate 
in  what  is  now  Jenkintown.  Phineas  Jenkins  a  grandson  of

William  Jenkins  being  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  prior 
to  his  coming  to  Pennsylvania,  did  not  escape  persecution  in  his 
native  land  as  the  following  extracts  from  Besse's  "  Sufferings  of 
the  People  called  Quakers  "  will  show :

This  Inventory  was  exhibited  on  ye  4th  of  March  1702-3  by  Hannah  Jones 
executrix  of  the  last  Will  &  Testament  of  ye  w'th   in  named  Rees   John 
William    for   a    true    and   plain   inventory    under   protestation    nevertheless 
of  adding  if  occasion  be  &c. 

How  it  was  that  Rees  John  William  remembered  but  seven  chil- 
dren in  his  will  when  he  had  nine,  is  explained  by  the  fact  that 
Katharine  died  an  infant  before  her  father  and  Margaret  was  born ; 
the  same  year  he  made  his  will.

KNIGHT 


KNIGHT. 

Christopher  Knight,  it  is  believed,  came  to  the  Island  of 
Antigua,  from  Bristol,  England,  or  certainly  from  a  near-by  parish. 
The  exact  place  and  time  of  his  birth  are,  however,  unknown.  In 
Vere  Langford  Oliver's  "  History  of  Antigua,"  it  is  stated  that 
Christopher  Knight,  in  connection  with  John  Knight,  had  a  patent 
for  73  acres  of  land  in  the  year  1668.  This  appears  to  be  the 
earliest  mention  of  Christopher  Knight  in  Antigua.  He  must  have 
been  of  age  in  that  year.  In  or  before  the  year  1678  he  married 
Frances,  daughter  and  one  of  the  co-heirs  of  William  Duncan  then 
residing  in  the  Island  of  Antigua.  She  was  born  circa,  1650-55 ; 
probably  in  Scotland.  On  page  84  of  Vol.  i  of  Oliver's  history, 
there  is  a  note  taken  from  the  "  Close  Roll,  I,  George  II,  Part  8, 
No's  15  &  16"  relating  to  a  transfer  of  land,  which  is  as  follows: 

Indenture  made  the  23rd  of  June  1727  between  James  Duncan  of  Kircaldie 
in  Scotland  mariner  of  the  one  part  and  John  Burke  of  Antigua  &c,  .  .  . 
James  Duncan  grants  to  John  Burke  all  messuages  &c,  .  .  .  either  in  his 
own  right  or  in  right  of  his  late  wife  Frances  Duncan,  deceased. 

It  seems  probable  that  this  James  Duncan  and  the  above  named 
William  Duncan  were  kinsmen. 

Frances  Duncan  wife  of  Christopher  Knight  was  dead  before 
1701,  for  in  that  year  on  the  24th  of  July,  at  St.  Johns,  Antigua,  he 
married  Margaret,  widow  of  Henry  Hodge,  and  mother  of  Henry 
Hodge,  Jr.,  who  married  Frances  Knight  daughter  of  Christopher 
Knight  and  Frances  Duncan.  No  record  has  been  found  to  indicate 
that  Christopher  Knight  had  issue  by  his  second  wife.  The  follow- 
ing extracts  relating  to  land  grants  are  from  the  "  History  of 
Antigua." 

1668,  Christopher  and  John  Knight,  patent  for  7$  acres. 
1668,  Katherine  Knight  daughter  of  China  Knight  deceased,  10  acres.  China 
Knight  died  10  November  1663.  Katherine  Knight  is  designated  as  daughter 
and  heiress,  of  China  Knight.  (This  is  an  odd  name  for  a  given  name,  the 
writer  of  this  narrative  genealogy  has  surmised  that  it  may  have  been  a 
cutting  short  of  the  surname  Challoner.  A  family  of  that  name  being  con- 
nected with  a  Knight  family  of  Bristol  circa  1615-20).

It  seems  probable  that  the  above  named  John  Knight  and  Chris-

In  1673,  February,  an  account  or  inventory  of  the  goods  of  a

valued  at  350  lbs.  of  sugar,  he  also  owned  58  acres  of  land. 

Christopher  Knight  died  in  1713.  The  abstract  of  his  will  here

After  the  death  of  William  Duncan,  his  widow,  Mary,  married 
William  Steele.  The  daughters  of  William  Duncan  and  his  wife 
Mary,    were    Sarah    who    married    George    Poison,    Rebecca    who 

married Christian,  and  Frances  who  married  Christopher 

Knight. 

In  1678,  June  14th,  there  was  a  sale  of  land  made  to  Lieut.  John 
Hamilton  by  William  Steele  and  his  wife  Mary  Steele,  late  Mary 
Duncan,  widow  of  William  Duncan,  deceased,  two  of  the  said

Christopher  Knight  and  Frances  his  wife  also  a  daughter  of  William 
Duncan.  In  the  conveyance  of  land  in  1727,  already  mentioned,  by 
James  Duncan  of  Kircaldie  it  states  further,  that  James  Duncan

KNOWLES. 

John  Knowles,  was  born  9th  month  23rd,  1682,  at  West  Challow 
in  the  county  of  Berks,  England,  and  died  1743,  in  Oxford  Town- 
ship, Philadelphia  County,  Pennsylvania.  He  was  son  of  John 
Knowles  and  Elizabeth  (Newman)  of  Challow.  The  two  Challows, 
East  and  West,  are  chapelrys  in  the  parish  of  Letcomb-Regis,  and 
are  both  in  the  union  of  Wantage  and  hundred  of  Kintbury-Eagle, 
in  the  county  of  Berks.  West  Challow  is  two  miles  west-northwest 
from  Wantage.    The  chapel  is  dedicated  to  St.  Lawrence. 

Letcomb  Regis  (St.  Andrew),  the  parish  in  which  the  two 
Challows  are  situate,  is  two  miles  southwest  by  west  from  Wantage. 
These  places  are  all  in  the  north  centre  of  the  county  of  Berks. 
Near  the  latter  place  in  the  neighbouring  parish  of  Stanford  in  the 
Vale,  lived  a  family  named  Knollys,  sometimes  spelled  Knowlles ; 
but  they  appear  to  have  been  of  an  entirely  distinct  origin  from  that 
of  Knowles  of  Challow. 

About  the  year  1695,  John  Knowles,  then  a  lad  of  about  thirteen 
years  of  age,  removed  with  his  mother,  a  widow,  to  Pennsylvania ; 
his  father,  John  Knowles,  having  died  just  prior  to  that  date.  They 
settled  in  Oxford  Township,  Philadelphia  County,  and  John 
Knowles  married,  at  Oxford  Meeting  (which  was  then  In  existence), 
in  the  year  1705,  on  4th  month  5th,  Ann  Paul.  She  was  a  daughter 
of  Joseph  Paull  (or  Paul)  by  his  wife  Margaret,  and  was  born  in 
England,  probably  in  Somersetshire,  about  the  year  1683-4.  She 
died  in  Merion,  Pennsylvania,  1750. 

The  original  marriage  certificate  of  John  Knowles  and  Ann  Paul 
is  in  the  MSS.  collection  of  the  late  Dr.  James  J.  Levick,  and  in  the 
possession  of  his  sister  Elizabeth  R.  Levick  of  1010  South  47th 
Street,  West  Philadelphia.  Here  follows  a  brief  extract  of  it,  with

As  the  widow  of  John  Knowles  she  removed  to  Pennsylvania  about 
1695,  for  in  that  year,  on  the  6th  of  July,  there  is  a  record  of  a  mort- 
gage made  by  Peter  Keurlis  of  Germantown,  baker,  to  Elizabeth 
Knowles,  widow,  of  Oxford  Township.  (Recorder  of  Deeds  Office, 
Philadelphia,  Book  E,  4,  Vol.  7,  page  28.)  On  the  12th  month  23rd, 
1699,  at  Philadelphia  Meeting,  she  married,  secondly,  Thomas 
Griffith,  and  died  12th  month  23rd,  1726.  Thomas  Griffith  died  1st 
month  5th,  1727.  His  will  is  on  file  at  Philadelphia,  a  copy  being  in 
Book  E,  page  21.  He  mentions  John  Knowles  of  Oxford,  Francis 
Knowles  of  Philadelphia,  and  Hannah  Knowles,  spinster.  This  will 
is  dated,  12th  month  12th,  1726;  proved  8th  March,  1726-7.  He 
left  no  issue  by  Elizabeth  (Newman).  She  was  a  witness  to  the  will 
of  John  Busby  of  Philadelphia,  8th  month  3rd,  1699.

27th,  1739,  Philadelphia,  Book,  F,  page  143. 

Sarah,  born  in  West  Challow,  5th  month  1st,  1691 ;  believed  to  have  died 

in  infancy. 

Hannah,  born  in  West  Challow  circa,  1688;  died  in  Pennsylvania,  after 
1739;  married  Thomas  Gilpin,  (born,  5th  month,  23d,  1700),  and 
died,  10th  month  25th,  1756.  He  married,  first,  Rebecca  Men- 
denhall,  and,  secondly,  Hannah  Knowles  and,  thirdly,  Ann 
Caldwell. 

John  Knowles,  of  West  Challow,  Berkshire,  was  born,  probably 
in  East  Challow,  about  1630.  Unfortunately  the  Parish  Registers 
of  both  East  and  West  Challow  as  well  as  those  of  Letcomb  Regis 
begin  either  too  late  or  are  in  such  a  bad  condition  that  nothing 
definite  can  be  learned  from  them.  Those  of  East  Challow  do  not 
begin  until  1712;  those  of  West  Challow  in  1653;  but  the  latter  are 
imperfect,  while  those  of  Letcomb  Regis  do  not  begin  until  1697. 
There  is  no  positive  information  as  to  who  his  wife  was,  or  the  date 
of  his  marriage,  but  her  name  is  known  to  have  been  Joan. 

The  list  of  burials  recorded  in  Witney  Monthly  Meeting,  extracts 
at  Devonshire  House,  London,  gives  the  following : 

"  Knowles,  Joan,  of  West  Challow,  wife  of  John,  Witney  Monthly  Meet- 
ing, at  Farringdon,  on  nth  month  9th,  1676." 

John  Knowles  was  a  son  of  Andrew  Knowles  of  East  Challow. 
Members  of  the  Knowles  family  became  converted  to  the  belief  of 
the  Society  of  Friends  or  Quakers  about  the  year  1660.  In  Besse's 
"  Sufferings  of  the  People  called  Quakers,"  there  are  several  refer- 
ences to  those  by  the  name  of  Knowles.    Here  are  a  few  notices. 

Vol.  i,  Berkshire.  Anno  1660,  3rd  of  October,  some  Friends  were  taken 
from  a  Meeting  held  at  Steventon  (This  is  about  eight  miles  from  Challow 
to  the  North  East.)  "About  ten  days  after  this,  there  were  taken  out  of  a 
Meeting  at  Mary  Slades  at  Kingston  Lisle,  Humphrey  Knowles  &  others." 
(Kingston  Lisle  is  about  three  miles  West  of  the  Challows).  Anno  1677. 
June  15th,  at  the  suit  of  Stephen  Penston  an  Impropriator  for  tithes  of  3 
shillings,  John  Knowles  of  East  Challow  sent  to  Reading  Gaol. 
At  another  time  John  Knowles  had  taken  from  him  the  value  of  £3.  16.  6. 
In  1685,  at  Challow,  there  was  taken  from  John  Knowles  10  shillings  and 
from  Francis  Knowles  the  same  amount. 

1685  is  the  last  time  that  the  name  of  Francis  Knowles  occurs  but  that  of 
John  Knowles  occurs  as  late  as  1688. 


KNOWLES.  185 

Children  of  John  Knowles  and  his  wife  Joan: 

John,  born  in  West  Challow,  circa,  1655;  died  circa  1694;  married  10th 
month  21st,  1681,  Elizabeth  Newman. 

Francis,  born  in  Berkshire;  died  there  2nd  Month  24th,  1685.  From  buria! 
record  of  Witney  Monthly  Meeting.  "  Knowles,  Francis  of  West 
Challow,  buried  at  Farrington,  on  the  above  date."  Supposed  to 
have  married  Martha  who  died  2nd  month  17th,  1689.  From  record 
of  Witney  Monthly  Meeting  "  Knowles,  Martha  of  West  Challow, 
widow,  at  Farrington." 

Jone  (perhaps).     There  seems  to  be  some  doubt  about  this  woman  being 

a  daughter  of  John  Knowles  and  Joan,  but  the  entry  of  burial  is  as 
follows :  "  Knowles,  Jone  of  Northnewton,  Banbury  Monthly  Meet- 
ing, nth  month  29th,  1685." 

Banbury  is  in  the  north  of  the  northeastern  part  of  Oxfordshire. 
Witney  is  in  the  southern  part  of  Oxfordshire,  about  ten  or  twelve 
miles  from  Abington  in  Berkshire,  and  about  the  same  distance  from 
Farrington,  or  Farringdon,  in  Berkshire. 


LLOYD 


LLOYD. 

Among  Mr.  Lloyd's  MSS.,  are  two  volumes  embracing  the  results 
of  his  researches  in  re  the  ancestry  of  Robert  and  Thomas  Lloyd, 
early  settlers  in  Merion.  His  correspondence  on  this  subject  and  re- 
ports from  those  who,  from  time  to  time,  he  employed  in  making 
researches  in  Welsh  records,  are  scattered  through  four  volumes  of 
similar  letters  and  papers.  Mr.  Lloyd  based  his  investigations  on  the 
proposition  that  Robert  and  Thomas  Lloyd  were  cousins,  either  first 
or  second,  or  by  marriage,  to  Robert  Owen  who  removed  from  near 
Bala,  Merionethshire,  Wales,  to  Merion  in  the  Province  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, in  1690,  and  died  in  1697.  His  method  of  research  was  an 
attempt  to  ascertain  all  of  the  kinsmen  and  kinswomen  of  Robert 
Owen  and  Rebecca  his  wife,  and  to  determine  who  they  married  and 
the  names  of  their  children.  He  also  investigated  all  of  the  numerous 
families  residing  near  Bala,  so  far  as  the  ability  of  his  correspon- 
dents permitted.  Un fortunately,  Mr.  Lloyd  died  before  recent  inves- 
tigations in  Wales  brought  to  light  much  additional  data  regarding 
the  antecedents  of  the  first  settlers  of  Merion.  About  1896,  Mr. 
Lloyd  decided  that  the  relationship  of  the  Lloyd  brothers  to  Robert 
Owen  was  through  the  latter's  wife;  but  at  that  time  he  had  only 
circumstantial  evidence  upon  which  to  base  his  conclusions,  and 
hesitated  to  commit  them  to  MS.  except  in  a  tentative  way. 
At  this  time  he  drew  up  a  paper  entitled  "  Circumstantial 
Evidence  showing  Probable  Descent  of  Robert  Lloyd."  In 
some  pages  giving  an  account  of  Robert  Lloyd  of  Merion,  written 
about  1896,  Mr.  Lloyd  says :  "  On  the  page  devoted  to  an  account 
of  the  supposed  relationship  between  Robert  Lloyd  and  Robert  Owen 
and  his  wife,  the  relationship  between  the  above  signers  will  be  more 
fully  set  forth."  The  word  supposed,  however,  was  subsequently 
deliberately  pencilled  out,  evidently  immediately  before  his  death. 
In  one  of  the  MS.  volumes  above  referred  to  are  several  tentative 
pedigrees  giving  the  supposed  parentage  of  Robert  and  Thomas 
Lloyd  and  their  sister  Gainor;  but  in  a  later  pedigree,  on  pages 
198-9  of  Volume  ii,  as  well  as  elsewhere,  the  brothers  and  sister 
are  given  as  the  children  of  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney,  without  any

question  marks  (as  on  page  189)  pencilled  (for  dotted  or  tentative 
line)  as  on  other  pages,  or  anything  to  indicate  that  Mr.  Lloyd  had 
not  discovered  information  which  confirmed  his  supposition,  for  he 
made  it  a  constant  practice  to  mark  all  tentative  or  trial  pedigrees 
as  such. 

Again,  on  page  183,  under  a  pedigree  of  Rebecca,  wife  of  Robert 
Owen,  is  this  note. 

"  I  believe  John  Thomas  ap  Howell  and  John  Humphrey  to  have  been 
second  cousins  and  Rebecca  Owen  and  Robert  Lloyd  to  have  been  second 
cousins." 

1/1/98  (Signed)   Howard  W.  Lloyd. 

The  above  statement  indicates  that  Mr.  Lloyd  was  convinced  of 
the  correctness  of  his  conclusions. 

Another  definite  statement  giving  Robert,  Thomas,  and  Gainor 
Lloyd  as  the  children  of  David  of  Cowney,  is  made  on  page  197. 
Information  included  in  this  pedigree,  by  comparison  with  corre- 
spondence, proves  it  to  have  been  compiled  very  shortly  before  Mr. 
Lloyd's  decease;  moreover,  the  remainder  of  the  pages  of  this 
volume,  excepting  one,  are  blank.  In  the  same  volume  are  two  rough 
designs  for  a  book  plate.  They  include  the  arms  of  the  Lloyds  of 
Cowney,  Montgomeryshire,  and  are  thus  inscribed : 

(a)  Cownevy — Howard  Williams  Lloyd — Merion  1683 — Germantown,  1897. 

(&)  1683-1898,  Llewelyn  Aurdorchog — David  Lloyd  de  Llanwddyn — 
Cowney — Robert  Lloyd  of  Merion  Pa. — Howard  W.  Lloyd — German- 
town. 

There  are  other  definite  statements  in  his  MSS.  of  the  above 
descent,  and  corrections  of  earlier  surmises.  The  writer  was  aware 
that  Mr.  Lloyd  claimed  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney,  the  Quaker,  as 
father  of  Robert  Lloyd  of  Merion,  and  in  a  conversation  with  him, 
a  short  time  before  his  death,  gathered  that  there  was  no  doubt  on 
the  subject.  Some  time  afterwards  the  matter  was  investigated 
independently  of  Mr.  Lloyd's  notes,  and  since  the  latter  were  placed 
in  the  writer's  hands  in  May,  1909,  the  whole  evidence  has  been 
reviewed  and  most  of  the  original  documents  which  are  cited,  re- 
examined, with  the  following  result : 

In  the  first  place  it  has  not  been  proved  that  David  Lloyd  of 
Cowney,  the  Quaker,  was  first  cousin  to  Owen  Humphrey  of  Llwyn 
du,  father  of  Rebecca,  wife  of  Robert  Owen. 


LLOYD.  191 

The  pedigree  claimed  by  Mr.  Lloyd,  however,  is  partly  proved  as 
follows : 

That  Rebecca,  wife  of  Robert  Owen  was  daughter  of  Owen 
Humphrey,  of  Llwyn  du,  by  original  marriage  certificate  dated  1 1 
March,  1678-9.  That  Owen  Humphrey  was  son  of  Humphrey  ap 
Hugh,  by  entry  of  his  baptism  in  the  Parish  Register  of  Llangelyn, 
the  record  reading:  Omnius  filius  hutnffredi  ap  hugh  dd  bapt.  fuit 
13  Aprilis,  1629.  The  parentage  of  Owen  Humphrey  is  also  proved 
by  deeds  relating  to  the  estate  of  LLwyn  du  and  by  a  marriage 
settlement,  in  re  marriage  of  Anne  Humphrey  (or  Humffrey) 
daughter  of  Humphrey  ap  Hugh  of  Llwyngwrill,  gentleman,  and 
Rowland  Ellis,  dated  1  January,  1649  (Original  in  possession  of 
Edward  Griffith  Esq.,  of  Springfield,  Dolgellev).  That  Elizabeth, 
wife  of  Humphrey  ap  Hugh,  was  the  daughter  of  John  ap  Howel 
Goch,  alias  John  Powel,  of  the  parish  of  Llanwddyn,  is  proved  by 
(a)  MS.  pedigree  in  handwriting  of  Rowland  Ellis,  and  (b)  pedigree 
by  Lewis  Dwnn,  Deputy  Herald. 

That  Mary,  wife  of  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney,  was  daughter  of 

John ,  is  proved  by  record  of  marriage,  12  February,  1625,  in 

Llanwddyn  Parish  Register,  and  other  evidence ;  but  it  is  not  proved 
that  she  was  daughter  of  John  ap  Howel,  or  John  Powel.  That  this 
David  Lloyd  of  Cowney  and  Mary  his  wife  were  the  parents  of 
David  Lloyd  of  Cowney,  the  Quaker,  is  proved  by  various  wills  and 
entries  in  Parish  Registers,  cited  by  Mr.  Lloyd. 

It  now  remains  to  ascertain  the  issue  of  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney. 
Mr.  Lloyd  proves  by  the  Parish  Register  of  Llangadvan,  at  which 
place  David  Lloyd,  apparently  worshipped,  after  1675,  that  he  had 
Susanna,  baptized  16  December,  1675,  John,  baptized  May,  1676. 
Catherine,  baptized  20  September  1682,  Evan,  buried  11  December, 
1682,  Morris,  baptized,  15th  June,  1684,  and  Mary,  buried  31 
October,  1685.  Mr.  Lloyd  assures  us  that  the  David  Lloyd  who 
was  father  of  these  children  was  the  same  person  as  David  Lloyd  the 
Quaker,  otherwise  one  might  question  if  the  same  man  whose  name 
was  presented  to  the  Grand  Jury  at  various  times  between  1678  and 
1685  for  non-attendance  at  National  Worship,  and  whose  wife  was 
also  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  would  have  had  his 
children  baptized  in  the  Parish  Church.  It  is  conceivable,  however, 
that  some  relatives  interested  themselves  in  the  matter,  and  that  for 


192  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

family  reasons  David  Lloyd  permitted  his  children  to  be  baptized. 
This  seems  to  be  the  view  taken  by  Mr.  Lloyd,  and  as  his  proof  of 
identity  seems  to  be  good,  there  is  no  reason  for  not  accepting  this 
explanation.  Now,  as  to  other  children,  Mr.  Lloyd  asserts  posi- 
tively in  four  continuous  pedigrees  without  any  queries  attached  to 
them,  or  anything  to  suggest  that  they  were  tentative,  all  finished 
just  prior  to  his  death,  that  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney  had  three  other 
children,  viz :  Robert,  born  1669,  Thomas,  born  according  to  other 
notes  of  Mr.  Lloyd,  in  or  about  1673,  and  Gainor,  all  of  whom 
removed  to  Pennsylvania.  For  these  children  there  is,  so  far  as  the 
writer  can  discover,  no  individual  evidence  of  parentage. 

We  can,  however,  it  would  seem,  consider  it  proved  beyond  a 
reasonable  doubt,  that  David  Lloyd  of  Cowney  had  children,  and 
they  may  have  been  second  cousins  to  Rebecca,  wife  of  Robert 
Owen,  which  Mr.  Lloyd,  in  an  elaborate  argument,  states  to  be  so; 
but  recent  investigations  prove  that  Robert  Lloyd  was  born  on  a 
farm  adjoining  Fron  Goch,  the  birth  place  of  Robert  Owen,  to 
whom  he  was  related  in  several  ways,  and  was  baptized  at  Llanfor, 
near  Bala,  14  January,  1667  (1667-8),  and  was  son  of  Thomas 
Lloyd. — Editor. 

Robert  Lloyd,  "  the  immigrant,  and  the  founder  of  the  family  in 
Pennsylvania,  was  born  in  the  year  1669  j1  but  the  exact  month  and 
day  are  unknown."  The  year  of  his  birth  is  fixed  by  a  memorandum 
of  Rees  Lloyd,  his  son,  in  the  possession  of  Hannah  P.  Chandlee,  of 
Ashton,  Maryland,  a  descendant  of  Gaynor,  one  of  the  daughters  of 
Robert  Lloyd. 

The  above  record  is  as  follows : 

"  my   father  Departed  this  Life  the  29th  day  of  the  3rd  mo.    1714  being 
45  years  of  age  [and  upwards].  ..."

"  This  was  handed  by  Uncle  Owen  Jones  in  his  life  time,  perhaps  about 
1789  to  G.  C.  on  enquiring  concerning  the  Family." 

G.  C.  stands  for  George  Churchman ;  he  married  Hannah  daugh- 
ter of  Gaynor  Lloyd  and  Mordecai  James,  the  ancestors  of  Hannah 
P.  Chandlee.

LLOYD.  193 

"In  the  year  1683,  when  Robert  Lloyd  was  only  14  |i0|  years 
old,  he  came  to  Pennsylvania.  The  year  of  his  immigration  is  fixed 
from  his  name  appearing  in  an  original  paper  in  the  possession  of  the 
Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania.-  A  copy  will  be  found  in 
volume  viii  of  the  Pennsylvania  Magazine  of  Hist,  and  Biog.,  pp. 
328-340. 

"  The  editor  of  the  Pennsylvania  Magazine  has  the  following  note 
on  page  329:  'It  may  surprise  some  of  our  readers  to  learn  of  the 
number  of  servants  brought  out  by  the  early  settlers.  This  was  no 
doubt  greatly  increased  by  the  liberal  terms  which  Penn  offered  to 
emigrants.  The  advantages  offered  to  those  who  would  come  as 
such  were  equal.  Each  was  to  have  fifty  acres  when  the  servants 
times  should  expire.  Nor  did  the  word  servant  as  used  here  neces- 
sarily imply  a  person  who  was  to  perform  menial  duties.  On  the 
contrary  they  were  often  farm  hands  or  skilled  mechanics,  in  some 
cases  of  the  same  social  position  as  their  masters,  in  others  they 
were  no  doubt  overseers  to  act  for  purchasers  who  remained  in  Eng- 
land &c.' " 

In  Futhey  and  Cope's  "History  of  Chester  County,"  page  154,  is 
this  account  of  Servants  and  Head  Land. 

"  Those  who  came  into  the  province  as  servants  were  to  be  allowed  at  the 
end  of  their  service  to  take  up  fifty  acres  of  land  at  a  rent  of  one  half  penny 
sterling  per  acre  per  annum  .  .  .  but  this  privilege  was  allowed  to  such  only 
as  came  in  with  the  first  purchasers  .  .  .  many  who  came  as  servants  after- 
wards attained  to  prominent  positions  in  government.  .  .  .  We  are  inclined 
to  suspect  that,  in  order  to  secure  the  benefit  the  meaning  of  the  term  was 
sometimes  stretched  in  its  application  as  far  as  it  would  bear.  The  land 
thus  obtained  was  called  head-land  and  as  previously  stated  the  whole 
amount  surveyed  for  the  right  of  servants  was  4,571  &  3/4  acres.  .  .  .  The 
warrants  of  survey  .  .  .  some  of  them,  contain  the  words,  "  in  the  Town- 
ships allotted  to  servants  "...  and  there  may  have  been  a  township  at  first 
intended  for  such  purpose,  but  it  was  not  in  Chester  County.  The  aggre- 
gate of  these  surveys  amount  to  2,000  acres  from  which  it  appears  that  a 
good  proportion  of  the  servants  land  was  located  in  Chester  County." 

"It  will  thus  be  seen  that  Robert  Lloyd  came  over  in  a  minor 
capacity;  but  if  he  had  50  acres  allotted  to  him,  a  careful  search 

-  It  has  been  disputed  that  this  was  the  same  Robert  Lloyd  who  later  appears  in 
Merion.  As  the  latter  and  his  brother  both  possessed  considerable  means  when 
quite  young  there  seems  to  be  no  reason  for  him  to  have  sold  himself,  or  been 
sold,  as  a  servant.  Again,  none  of  his  fellow  passengers  were  kinsmen,  or  from 
Wales. — Editor.

through  records  of  deeds  failed  to  show  it.  In  1697  he  is  found  in 
Merion,  with  his  kinsmen  and  countrymen,  the  Welsh." 

The  proof  that  Robert  Lloyd  was  living  in  Merion  in  1697,  will 
be  found  in  the  will  of  Robert  Owen,  dated  "  the  second  day  of  ye 
tenth  month  in  ye  year  1697."  The  testator  describes  himself  as 
"  Robert  Owen  of  ye  township  of  Merion  in  ye  county  of  Phila- 
delphia, Province  of  Pensilvania,"  and  appoints  "  my  trustey  and 
well  beloved  friends,  John  Umphrey  (Humphrey),  Hugh  Roberts, 
John  Roberts,  Griffith  John,  Robert  Jones,  Robert  Roberts, 
Robert  Lloyd,  and  Rowland  Ellis,  to  be  trustees  &  overseers." 
This  will  was  not  proved  until  May  16th,  1705,  although  Robert 
Owen  died  eight  days  after  making  it,  on  10th  month  10th,  1697. 
It  is  recorded  at  Philadelphia,  Office  of  Register  of  Wills,  in 
Book  B,  page  422.  The  original  is  No.  155  of  1705,  and  filed 
with  it,  is  an  inventory  and  account.  In  the  latter,  one  of  the 
items  is  "To  1,  1.  .9,  s.  .2,  d.  paid  Robert  Lloyd  in  dyett  and 
lodging  to  be  deducted  out  of  Robert  Owens  debts."  It  would 
appear  from  this  account  that  Robert  Owen  owed  Robert  Lloyd, 
that  the  latter  had  been  boarding  with  the  former,  and  the  difference 
in  the  accounts  was  in  the  favor  of  Robert  Owen's  estate  by  the 
above  amount.1 

In  1698  Robert  Lloyd  married  Lowry  Jones.  The  various  steps 
necessary  to  be  taken,  looking  to  this  event,  prior  to  the  marriage 
according  to  the  good  order  in  vogue  among  members  of  the  Soci- 
ety of  Friends,  were  as  follows: 

Mem.,  taken  from  Radnor,  Haverford  and  Merion  Monthly  Meet- 
ing Minutes. 

"At  our  Monthly  Meeting  held  at  Merion  Meeting  House,  the  nth  day  of 
the  6th  month,  1698.  ..."  Robert  Lloyd  and  Lowry  Jones  having  laid  their 
intentions  of  marriage  before  this  meeting  the  first  time,  Cadd'er  Morgan 
and  Edward  Jones  are  ordered  to  inspect  into  their  clearness  from  others  and 
bring  an  account  thereof  to  ye  next  meeting." 

"  At  our  Monthly  Meeting  held  at  Radnor  the  8th  day  of  the  7th  month, 
1689.  ..."  Robert  Lloyd  and  Lowry  Jones  laid  their  intentions  of  marriage 
&c,  ye  second  time."  The  committee  appointed  had  reported  that  the 
marriage  might  proceed,  having  found  that  both  Robert  and  Lowry  were 
clear  from  similar  engagements.  After  their  marriage  the  following  entry 
occurs  in  the  monthly  meeting  minutes. 

1This  amount,  however  seems  to  have  been  due  Robert  Lloyd  for  support  of 
some  of  the  younger  children  of  Robert  Owen. — Editor.

About  the  year  1698  Robert  Lloyd  purchased  a  farm  in  Merion, 
on  which  he  settled.  A  copy  of  the  conveyance  to  him  of  this  land

Robert  Lloyd,  however,  owned  more  than  this  four  hundred  and 
nine  and  a  half  acres.  In  the  Pennsylvania  Archives,  2nd  Series, 
Vol.  xix,  p.  403  (copy  of  the  Minutes  of  the  Board  of  Property), 
under  the  year  1703,  is  this  entry: 

Robert  Lloyd  produces  a  return  of  482  acres  Resurveyed  in  Meirion  in 
Pursuance  of  Our  Warr't  dat.  20,  2  mo  last  for  Resurveying  409  1-2  acres, 
One  moiety  of  819  acres  Part  of  Thos.  Ellis's  land  On  which  said  432  A's 
the  said  Robert,  Craves  a  Patent — Granted — vid  Welch  min's  19,  2  mo.  last. 
The  said  819  acres  is  made  up  of  625  acres  bought  of  L.  Owen,  R.  Owen, 
Ellis  Morris  &  Ellis  ap  Hugh  of  Robert  Davies  Purchase  and  84  A's  of  Over- 
plus and  part  of  the  original  Purchase. 

This  plantation  was  situate  not  far  from  the  present  village  of 
Merion  Square,  now  known  as  Gladwyne,  in  Lower  Merion  Town- 
ship, Montgomery  County.  It  is  about  two  miles  northeast  from 
Bryn  Mawr  Station  on  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  near  to  where 
the  Black  Rock  Road  leading  from  the  Schuylkill  River  to  Roberts 
Road  crosses  the  Old  Gulf  Road. 

Parts  of  the  farm  were,  in  1891,  owned  by  the  L.  Barr  Estate, 
Samuel  G.  Williamson  and  others.  It  is  adjoining  to  and  bounded 
on  the  west  by  "  Harriton  "  the  estate  of  Mrs.  Naomi  Morris,  and  is 
an  ideal  spot  for  a  country  homestead.  The  land  is  rolling,  and  at 
one  time  was  heavily  timbered.  To  within  quite  a  recent  period 
there  were  one  or  two  log  houses  on  these  farms.  The  present 
owner  of  the  L.  Barr  estate  remembers  one  of  these  which  stood 
close  to  the  existing  stone  plastered  dwelling.  It  was  always  con- 
sidered to  have  been  built  by  one  of  the  early  settlers,  and  was 
removed  about  the  year  i860.1 

1  In  some  cases  these  log  houses  were  servants'  quarters. — Editor.

The  brief  of  title  to  the  Samuel  G.  Williamson  property  shows 
the  ownership  of  Robert  Lloyd,  and  its  descent  to  his  sons ;  David 
Lloyd  inheriting  the  farm  which  is  now  Williamson's,  and  Rees 
Lloyd  inheriting  that  which  is  nowT  the  Barr  estate.  David  Lloyd 
sold  his  portion  and,  it  is  believed,  removed  to  North  Carolina  with 
his  family.  Of  Robert  Lloyd's  original  purchase,  he  sold,  in  1709, 
154^  acres  to  his  brother,  Thomas  Lloyd.  The  deed  to  the  latter  of 
this  land  is  as  follows :

On  examination  of  the  minute  book  belonging  to  Radnor  Monthly 
Meeting  (Radnor,  Haver  ford,  and  Merion),  it  appears  that  Richard 
Lloyd  and  his  wife  lived  in  Merion  until  1742.  At  the  Monthly 
Meeting  held  on  the  nth  of  nth  month  of  that  year  they  requested 
a  certificate  of  removal  to  Darby  Monthly  Meeting,  this  was  granted,, 
and  they  took  up  their  residence  at  that  place  and  remained  there 
during  the  remainder  of  their  lives. 

Richard  was  one  of  twenty-nine  persons  who  founded  the  Darby 
Library,  May  1st,  1743.  On  the  10th  of  the  same  month  he  signed 
the  articles  of  agreement. 

On  November  3rd,  1747,  Joseph  Bonsall  of  Darby,  who  owned 
the  Darby  Mills,  conveyed  to  Richard  Lloyd  three  full  parts  of  five 
and  a  half  acres  of  land  and  of  the  water  corn  or  grist  mills  com- 
monly called  Darby  Mills,  with  the  bolting  mills  and  other  appur-

tenances.  This  deed  did  not,  however,  include  the  fulling  mill. 
After  the  death  of  Richard  Lloyd,  these  mills  were  assessed  as 
Ul<>nging  to  his  sons  Laac  and  Hugh  Lloyd.  In  Deed  Book  O, 
Vol.  14,  page  285,  etc.,  Chester  County  Deeds  at  West  Chester, 
then  rded  a  conveyance,  an  abstract  of  which  is  given  below. 

It  was  made  after  both  Isaac  and  Hugh  Lloyd  had  arrived  at  the 
age  of  twenty-one  years,  and  this  was  probably  about  the  time  Hugh 
Lloyd  sold  his  interest  in  the  Darby  Mills  to  his  brother  Isaac,  which 
probably  done  in  order  to  make  a  title,  by  conveyance  through 
a  third  party,  for  the  mills  were  assessed  in  the  name  of  Isaac  Lloyd, 
from  1764  to  1802. 

Deed  made  20th  of  November,  1764  between  Lewis  Davis  of  Haverford, 
County  of  Chester  &c.,  Tanner,  and  Hannah  his  wife  (late  the  widow  and 
relict  of  Richard  Lloyd  some  time  since  of  Darby  in  the  County  of  Chester 
aforesaid  miller,  deceased),  Isaac  Lloyd  of  Darby,  mill-right  and  Hugh 
Lloyd  of  the  same  place,  miller  (sons  of  the  said  Richard  Lloyd),  of  the 
one  part  and  John  Roberts  of  Merion  in  the  County  of  Philadelphia  of  the

Richard  Lloyd  did  not  enjoy  good  health.  In  or  about  the  year 
1752  he  was  recommended  to  take  a  trip  to  New  York.  This  may 
have  benefited  him,  but  not  for  a  very  long  time.  He  died,  as  stated, 
in  the  year  1755,  in  the  prime  of  life,  aged  only  forty-two  years.

Be  it  remembered  that  on  the  nineteenth  day  of  August  Anno  Domini  1755 
the  last  Will  and  Testament  of  Richard  Lloyd  late  of  Darby  in  the  County 
of  Chester,  miller  deceased  was  proved  in  due  form  of  law  and  Probated 
and  Letters  Testamentary  were  granted  to  his  loving  wife  Hannah  Lloyd

age  of  seventeeen  years).  She  being  solemnly  affirmed  according  to  law  to

Among  other  personal  property  of  Richard  Lloyd  was  a  tall  hall 
clock  (a  "grandfathers  "  clock  as  we  now  call  them).  The  case  is 
made  of  black  walnut.  This  is  now  in  the  possession  of  Isaac  Lloyd 
of  No.  924  Clinton  Street,  Philadelphia.  The  identity  of  the  clock 
is  proven  by  the  following  receipt. 

"  Rec'd  July  28,  1787  of  Jonathan  Worrill  nine  pounds  in  specie  being  in  full 
for  a  certain  clock  which  belonged  to  the  estate  of  Richard  Lloyd,  deceased.

Hugh  Lloyd" 

Jonathan  Worrill  married  Sarah  Lloyd,  who  was  a  daughter  of 
the  Robert  Lloyd  that  Richard  Lloyd  mentions  in  his  will,  con- 
sequently she  was  a  first  cousin  to  Isaac  and  Hugh  Lloyd.  This 
receipt  was  found  by  Franklin  Lloyd  in  an  old  receipt  book,  while 
looking  up  the  ancestry  of  the  family  some  twenty-five  years  ago. 
Franklin  Lloyd  was  a  son  of  Isaac  Lloyd,  who  was  son  of  another 
Isaac  Lloyd,  the  latter  son  of  Isaac  Lloyd  brother  of  Hugh  Lloyd. 
In  other  words  Franklin  Lloyd  was  a  great-grandson  of  Isaac  Lloyd, 
signer  of  the  receipt.  Isaac  Lloyd,  the  present  owner  of  the  clock, 
is  a  first  cousin  to  Franklin  Lloyd,  being  a  son  of  John  Lloyd, 
brother  to  Isaac  the  father  of  Franklin  Lloyd,  the  latter  being 
deceased  a  number  of  years.  Although  Jonathan  Worrill  and  Sarah 
left  no  children,  the  clock  did  not  pass  out  of  the  family,  remaining 
with  a  near  relative  until  within  the  last  five  years  when  Isaac  Lloyd 
of  Clinton  Street  purchased  it.    This  is  the  only  known  article,  now

LLOYD.  213 

In  1764  the  Darby  Mills,  consisting  of  "  water-corn  or  grist  mills  " 
and  fulling  mills  were  owned  and  operated  by  Hugh  and  Isaac  Lloyd. 
About  the  year  1770,  Hugh  sold  his  share  to  his  brother  Isaac  and 
removed  to  and  operated  a  mill  in  Ridley  Township  on  Crum  Creek, 
at  a  place  now  known  as  Lapidea. 

At  West  Chester,  in  the  office  of  the  Recorder  of  Deeds  for 
Chester  County  is  recorded  the  following  conveyance  of  land. 

Deed  Book  V,  p.  462,  year  1777,  from  Hugh  Lloyd  of  Ridley, 
miller,  and  Susanna  his  wife  to  Edward  Bonsall,  a  lot  of  land  in 
High  Street,  Darby,  142  perches  for  £50.  This  was  the  same 
ground  half  of  which  John  Roberts  and  Jane  his  wife  granted  in 
1765  to  Hugh  Lloyd,  and  the  other  half  was  granted  to  him,  in 
1766,  by  Isaac  and  Ann  Lloyd. 

At  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  Hugh  Lloyd  secreted  the  mill  stones 
so  that  they  could  not  be  destroyed.  In  one  of  the  orders  issued  by 
General  Washington  to  General  Potter,  requiring  the  mill  stones  to 
be  taken  from  several  mills,  he  particularly  mentions  Lloyd's,  "  about 
two  miles  on  this  side  of  Chester." 

In  Vol.  xiv,  2nd  Series,  Pennsylvania  Archives,  on  page  65,  will 
be  found  a  list  of  the  names  of  the  Committee  of  the  Associators, 
or  Committee  of  Observation,  chosen  for  the  County  of  Chester 
December  20th,  1774,  Hugh  Lloyd  being  one  of  them. 

Hugh  Lloyd  was  one  of  the  Deputies  to  the  Provincial  Conven- 
tion held  at  Philadelphia,  July  15th,  1774.  He  was  one  of  the  Com- 
mittee from  Chester  County  that  attended  the  Provincial  Conference 
held  at  Carpenter's  Hall,  Philadelphia,  June  18th,  1775 ;  also  a 
Delegate  to  the  Provincial  Convention  at  Philadelphia,  January  23d, 
1775.  Early  in  the  year  1776,  he  was  commissioned  Colonel  of 
Militia  in  Chester  County,  and  saw  active  service  during  the  war. 

In  the  Provincial  Conference  held  Tuesday  June  18th,  1776,  at 
Carpenter's  Hall,  Philadelphia,  and  on  succeeding  days  to  June  25th, 
inclusive,  Colonel  Hugh  Lloyd  was  one  of  the  thirteen  delegates 
for  the  Committee  of  Chester  County.  The  proceedings  are  printed 
in  Vol.  iii,  Pennsylvania  Archives,  Second  Series,  pp.  635,  665. 

In  the  spring  of  1769,  the  Chester  Library  was  founded,  on 
November  10th,  1770,  Hugh  Lloyd  was  one  of  a  committee  of  three 
instructed  to  buy  books,  "  with  what  money  is  in  bank."  He  was 
elected  a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  House  of  Representatives 


2i4  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

from  Delaware  Co.  for  the  years  1790-1  and  again  1791-92.  On 
January  5U1.  1795  he  was  appointed  one  of  a  committee  of  five  to 
ascertain  and  report  the  site  of  a  lot  and  probable  cost  of  a  suitable 
building  for  the  Darby  Library,  but  the  committee  was  discharged 
January  2nd,  1797,  on  account  of  not  being  able  to  obtain  a  lot  "  at  a 
price  that  would  possibly  do."  He  was  a  member  of  the  Darby  Fire 
Company,  and  served  as  clerk  for  the  years  1793  and  1816.  In  1793 
he  was  Presidential  Elector  from  Pennsylvania. 

On  April  24th,  1792,  Governor  Mifflin  commissioned  Hugh  Lloyd 
of  Darby  an  associate  justice  of  the  courts  of  Delaware  County, 
which,  three  years  before,  had  been  erected  out  of  Chester  County. 
He  held  this  position  for  over  a  third  of  a  century,  sending  his 
resignation  to  Governor  Shulze  in  the  following  words : 

"  I  the  within  named  Associate  Judge  of  Delaware  Co.  aged  83  years,  10 
months  and  9  days  by  attending  every  court  for  thirty  three  years,  one 
Orphans  Court  only  excepted,  having  performed  the  duties  of  the  within 
commission  to  the  best  of  my  judgment  and  ability,  do  by  these  presents, 
resign  and  surrender  up  my  said  commission  to  his  Excellency  the  Governor 
w  ith  the  hope  that  a  successor  may  be  appointed  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
majority  of  said  county." 

"  In  testimony  whereof  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  this  31st  day  of  De- 
cember, A.  D.  1825. 
With  sentiments  of  regard  &c.

NEWMAN 


NEWMAN. 

Paul  Newman  was  born  about  1630.  In  or  about  1680  he  was 
living  in  Eaton,  a  township  in  the  parish  of  Appleton  in  the  hundred 
of  Ock,  five  and  three  quarters  miles  northwest  by  north  from 
Abington  in  the  northeastern  part  of  the  county  of  Berks.  His  wife, 
and  it  is  believed  the  mother  of  all  of  his  children,  was  named  Joan. 
It  is  pretty  certain  that  Paul  Newman  died  in  Pennsylvania.  In 
Abington  Monthly  Meeting  Minutes  there  is  the  following  entry: 
"  Paul  Newman  &  other  Friends  named  to  attend  Quarterly  Meet- 
ing," dated  of  this  appointment,  was  26th  of  6th  month,  1695.  The 
date  of  his  death  is  not  given  nor  did  he  leave  a  will. 

There  is  not  much  known  about  Paul  Newman,  except  that  like 
many  others  of  those  who  lived  at  or  about  the  same  time,  who 
became  interested  in  the  doctrine  of  George  Fox,  he  suffered  on 
account  of  his  belief.  Here  are  a  few  extracts  from  Besse's  "  Suffer- 
ings " :

man &c,  at  Warwick  for  refusing  to  swear  oath  of  allegiance,  in  prison  8  and 
y2  years.  (This  may  have  reference  to  the  first  imprisonment,  and  may  be  a 
repetition).

Appleton  (St.  Lawrence),  the  parish  in  which  Paul  Newman  was 
living  about  the  year  1680,  is  bounded  on  the  west  by  the  river 
Thames,  which  separates  it  from  Oxfordshire.  Near  or  adjoining 
are  the  parishes  of  Befselsleigh  and  Cumner,  the  latter  being  the 
place  in  which  resided  Edmund  Orpwood,  who  removed  to  Penn- 
sylvania after  having  married  a  daughter  of  Paul  Newman.

PASCHALL 


PASCHALL. 

Henry  Paschall,  son  of  John  Paschall  and  Frances  (Hodge) 
his  wife,  was  born  8th  month  28th,  1746,  in  Blockley  Township, 
Philadelphia  County,  near  Darby;  died  1835  in  Kingsessing  (will 
proved  May  23rd,  1835,  at  Philadelphia).  He  married,  first,  at 
Darby  Meeting,  5th  month  24th,  1770,  Ann  Garrett,  Jr.  She  is 
thus  styled  in  the  record  of  the  marriage  in  Darby  Meeting  books, 
but  she  was  usually  known  as  Ann  P.  Garrett,  and  was  born  at 
Darby,  9th  month  24th,  1752;  died  in  Kingsessing  12th  month  nth, 
1820,  being  a  daughter  of  Nathan  Garrett  and  Ann  (Knowles), 
his  wife,  of  Darby. 

Henry  Paschall  married,  secondly,  November  2nd,  1821,  Catherine 
Lincoln,  born  5th  September,  1792;  died  March  23rd,  1876.  She 
was  a  daughter  of  Abraham  and  Elizabeth  (Shrum)  Lincoln. 
(Dates  of  birth,  marriage,  and  death  of  Catherine  Lincoln  are  from 
General  Lewis  Merrill's  notes.) 

Henry  Paschall,  shortly  after  his  first  marriage,  removed  to  Wil- 
mington, Delaware ;  but  subsequently  he  resided  within  the  limits  of 
Darby  Meeting.  An  old  stone  house  now  used  as  the  parsonage  of 
Old  Swedes  Church,  St.  James  of  Kingsessing,  situate  on  the  Darby 
Road,  or  Woodland  Avenue,  opposite  the  church,  was  occupied  by 
him  during  the  latter  part  of  his  life. 

Although  known  as  "  Doctor  Paschall,"  he  was  not  a  graduate  of 
any  medical  college,  but  a  self-educated  man.  He  had  quite  a 
practice  among  families  residing  in  Kingsessing  ( Paschall ville)  and 
Darby,  and  did  a  great  deal  of  good,  in  a  medical  way,  among  the 
poor. 

Children  of  Henry  Paschall  and  Ann  P.,  his  first  wife : 

Frances,      born  2nd  month  24th,  1771 ;  died  8th  month  27th,  1857;  married 
Charles  Lloyd. 

Margaret,     born  9th  month  3rd,  1772;  died  nth  month  22nd,  1871 ;  married

John  Paschall  married  2nd  month  25th,  1728,  at  Philadelphia 
Friends'  Meeting  House,  Frances  Hodge,  born  4th  month  15th, 
1710;  died  in  Philadelphia,  1st  month  8th,  1781.  She  was  a  daugh- 
ter of  Henry  Hodge,  merchant  of  Philadelphia,  by  his  first  wife 
Frances  Knight. 

John  Paschall  was  of  a  literary  turn  of  mind.  In  1742  the 
Library  Company  of  Philadelphia  was  chartered.  John  Penn, 
Thomas  Penn  and  Richard  Penn,  Esquires,  true  and  absolute  pro- 
prietaries. A  set  of  resolutions  stating  the  object  of  the  company 
are  embodied  in  the  charter.  Among  other  names  as  charter  mem- 
bers occur  the  following,  B.  Franklin,  Robert  Grace,  Anthony 
Nicholas,  Rees  Lloyd  and  John  Paschall.  John  Paschall  was  known 
as  a  doctor,  and  although  he  was  never  regularly  educated  for  the 
profession  he  acquired  considerable  medical  and  chemical  knowl- 
edge, which  made  him  conspicuous  in  his  day.  He  practised  medi- 
cine in  Delaware  County,  residing  at  the  time  in  Darby.  Near  the 
house  in  which  he  lived,  on  part  of  the  same  property,  there  was  a 
well  strongly  impregnated  with  iron,  in  the  water  of  which  he  used 
to  immerse  his  patients.  He  made  a  compound  called  "  The  Golden 
Elixer  "  which  was  also  widely  advertised  and  known  as  "  Paschall's 
Golden  Drops."  This  was  taken  for  stomach  trouble,  and  was 
successfully  used  in  a  case  of  lockjaw,  after  the  patient  had  been 
given  up  by  the  regular  practitioners. 

Children  of  John  Paschall  and  Frances  his  wife: 

Margaret,     born  6th  month  28th,  1731 ;  died  8th  month  15th,  1820;  married

(..Most  of  the  above  dates  are   from  the  late  John  J.   Parker's   MSS.,  he 
resided  in  West  Chester,   Pennsilvania.) 

Thomas  Paschall,  Jr.,  was  born  in  or  near  Bristol;  but  the 
exact  date  of  his  birth  has  not  been  ascertained.  It  must  have 
occurred  about  the  year  1665.  He  removed  to  Pennsylvania  with 
his  parents,  who  were  Thomas  Paschall  and  Joanna  (Sloper),  in 
1682,  and  died  in  Philadelphia,  2nd  month  (April)  14th,  1743. 

Thomas  Paschall,  Jr.,  married  twice.  His  first  wife  was  Mar- 
garet Jenkins,  to  whom  he  was  married  at  Haverford  Meeting 
House,  9th  month  15th,  1692.  She  was  a  daughter  of  William 
Jenkins  by  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Lewis  Griffith  and  was  born  in 
Pembrokeshire,  Wales,  supposedly  in  the  town  of  Tenby,  3rd  month 
23rd,  1674;  died  nth  month  17th,  1728  (Darby  Friends'  Meeting 
Records).  He  married,  secondly,  10th  month  27th,  1729,  at  Abing- 
ton  Meeting,  Abigail  Fowler  Golding,  widow ;  but  by  her  he  had  no 
issue. 

In  certain  documents,  Thomas  Paschall,  Jr.,  is  styled  "maltster," 
and  his  name  appears  on  a  list  of  names  of  those  admitted  as  free- 
men of  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  between  April  22nd  and  May  27th, 
1717.  (Scharff  and  Westcott,  "History  of  Philadelphia,"  Vol.  i, 
page  194.) 

In  1693  he  was  one  of  the  Assessors  for  the  district  "Beyond 
Schoolkill,"  and  helped  to  prepare  the  "  First  Tax  List  for  Phila- 
delphia County"  under  Act  of  the  General  Assembly,  passed  15th 
of  May,  1693.  (Pennslyvania  Magazine  of  Hist,  and  Biog.,  Vol. 
viii,  pp.  85-102).  He  appears  to  have  been  a  member  of  the  Society 
of  Friends,  although  not  taking  an  active  part  in  the  proceedings  of 
its  meetings.  His  will  was  proved  16th  April,  1743,  at  Philadelphia, 
and  is  recorded  in  Book  G,  page  38.    Here  follows  extracts  from  it : 

Dated  2nd  September,  1741.  He  is  designated  Thomas  Paschall  of  Block- 
ley   township,    Philadelphia   County,   yeoman.     He   leaves   small   legacies,    to

his  grand-son  Thomas  of  Goshen  Chester  county  deceased,  to  his  grand- 
son William  son  of  his  son  William  of  Whiteland,  Chester  county,  deceased. 
To  his  sons  Joseph,  John,  Benjamin  and  Jonathan.  To  his  daughter 
Elizabeth  Jones.  To  his  son  Stephen,  he  leaves  all  the  rest  of  his  goods, 
chattels  &c,  also  his  lands  in  Blockley,  commencing  at  a  Spanish  Oak  by 
the  Swedes  Mill  Creek  thence  North  148  perches,  thence  South  63  degrees 
East,  260  perches  to  a  Maple  on  the  East  side  of  a  small  run,  dividing  his 
land  from  land  of  Neeles  Jones,  thence  following  the  courses  of  this  small 
run  to  its  junction  with  Swedes  Mill  creek  and  thence  to  place  of  beginning, 
containing  200  acres   with   houses   &c. 

He  names  as  Executors,  his  sons  Joseph,  John  and  Stephen.     He  does  not 
sign  his  name  to  the  will  but  makes  his  mark.     The  witnesses  were  Aaron 
Hibberd,  Thomas  Hall  and  Joseph  Lees. 
Letters  were  granted  to  Stephen  Paschall,  Joseph  Paschall  being  dead. 

The  total  value  of  the  estate  as  appraised  by  Samuel  Sellers  and 
Lewis  Thomas,  and  shown  in  the  inventory,  was  £378.  .1.  .0.  In- 
cluded was  the  plantation  and  messuage,  valued  at  ^350.  This 
farm  was  situate  on  Cobb's  Creek  near  to  the  site  of  the  present 
Angora  Station  on  the  West  Chester  and  Media  Railroad. 

In  "  The  Book  of  John  Howell,"  2  vols.,  by  Miss  Frances  Howell 
of  Woodbury,  1897,  there  is  a  copy  of  the  paper  admitting  Thomas 
Paschall,  Jr.,  to  the  Freedom  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  which  is 
as  follows :

Jonathan,    born  3rd  month  nth,   1718   (Darby  Meeting  Book)  ;  died  after 

1743 ;  married  Mary  Fisher,  widow  of  John  Fisher  and  daughter 

of  Henry  Hodge  and  Frances  Knight. 

Thomas  Paschall,  the  first  of  his  name  to  come  to  Pennsylvania, 
was  born  in  Bristol,  England  in  1634  and  was  baptised  in  St.  Mary 
Redcliffe  Church,  the  entry  in  the  register  being  as  follows: 
"  Thomas  Paskell  son  of  William  Paskell,  Pewterer,  baptised,  Dec. 
29th,  1634."     (Parish  Registers  of  St.  Mary's  Redcliffe,  Bristol.) 

According  to  an  old  family  Bible,  Thomas  Paschall  was  born  8th 
month  or  (Old  Style)  October  3rd,  1634.  This  entry  was  made, 
doubtless,  after  some  of  the  family  became  Quakers.  It  would  seem 
from  this  that  Thomas  Paschall  was  baptised  when  he  was  nearly 
three  months  old.     He  died  in  Philadelphia,  7th  month  14th,  1718. 

He  married,  in  England,  Joanna  Sloper,  who  was  born  about  the 
same  year  as  her  husband,  and  who  died  in  Philadelphia.  The 
name  of  her  father,  who  died  in  1641,  is  unknown;  but  her  mother 
was  Joan  Burrus.  Joanna  Sloper,  according  to  a  letter  of  her  son, 
Thomas  Paschall,  to  his  cousin,  a  daughter  of  one  William  Sloper, 
Paymaster-General  to  the  Queen's  Foreign  Forces,  and  living  in 
London,  dated  2nd  October,  1718,  was  "nearly  related"  to  "  Squire 
Hook  son  of  Humphrey  Hook."  (Letter  in  possession  of  His- 
torical Society,  Pennsylvania.) 

Thomas  Paschall  was  an  early  purchaser  of  land  in  Pennsylvania. 
In  Vol.  i,  p.  39,  Pennsylvania  Archives,  there  is  an  account  of  sales 
in  England  by  William  Penn  of  land  in  the  new  colony.  Letters 
from  Penn  to  Philip  Ford  under  date  of  22nd  day  of  the  3rd  month, 
1682,  and  to  Thomas  Holme,  Surveyor  General  of  the  Province, 
contain  the  list  of  purchasers  and  the  authority  to  survey  their 
land.  Thomas  Paschall's  name  is  on  list  15  for  500  acres.  Thomas 
Paschall  with  his  wife  and  family  must  have  arrived  in  the  Province, 
either  about  the  time  of  Penn's  first  visit  or  just  before,  as  a  letter 
written  by  Thomas  Paskel  to  J.  J.  Chippenham  in  England,  dated 
February  10th,  1683,  new  style  (Pennsylvania  Magazine  of  Hist, 
and  Biog.,  Vol.  i,  page  323,  etc.)  would  seem  to  indicate. 

According   to   Holme's   map   of   the   Province  of   Pennsylvania 


23o  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

(1681  )  which  gives  the  names  of  original  purchasers  from  William 
Penn,  and  the  location  of  their  land,  Thomas  Paschall's  plantation 
was  situate  near  to  the  site  of  the  present  Mount  Moriah  Cemetery, 
and  extending  north  towards  Angora  station.  It  is  possible  that 
Thomas  Paschall  also  owned  land  near  the  river  Schuylkill.  He 
writes,  February  10th,  1683  (1683-4),  "I  have  rented  a  house  for 
my  family  during  this  winter  and  I  have  built  a  little  house  on  my 
lands  for  my  domestics.  I  live  on  the  banks  of  the  river  Schuylkill." 
This  would  seem  to  convey  the  idea  that  the  house  he  rented  was  on 
the  banks  of  the  river,  and  that  the  land  which  he  owned  was  not. 
General  Lewis  Merrill,  now  deceased,  a  descendant  of  Thomas 
Paschall,  made  the  statement  that  the  latter  came  from  a  place  called 
Blockley,  and  gave  the  name  to  that  portion  of  Philadelphia,  west  of 
the  river,  known  as  Blockley  Township.  This  is  a  mistake.  Thomas 
Paschall  did  not  come  from  Blockley;  but  the  Warner  family  did. 
This  parish  is  situate  in  a  detached  portion  of  Worcestershire.  The 
Warners  were  in  Pennsylvania  before  the  arrival  of  William  Penn, 
and  acquired  a  large  plantation  lying  along  the  west  bank  of  the 
river  Schuylkill  to  which  they  gave  the  name  of  Blockley.  In  the 
Notes  and  Queries  column  of  the  Pennsylvania  Magazine  of  Hist, 
and  Biog.,  Vol.  vii,  p.  106,  is  the  following: 

Returns  of  Inhabitants  and  Lands  owned  and  improved  in  portions  of 
Philadelphia  County  in  1684.  The  following  notes  are  contained  in  a  MSS 
volume  belonging  to  the  American  Philosophical  Society.  The  returns  were 
probably  made  in  consequence  of  an  order  of  Nicholas  More,  Thomas  Holme 
and  Thomas  Fairman,  Justices  of  the  Peace,  dated  14th,  2nd  month,  1683 
(O.  S.)  to  be  executed  betwixt  this  and  three  weeks  inclusive —  .  .  .  (Among

Thomas  Paschall,  like  many  of  the  other  early  settlers,  was 
interested  either  directly  or  as  attorney  for  others,  in  the  purchase 
and  sale  of  land.  One  of  these  transactions  is  as  follows.  From 
the  Minutes  of  the  Board  of  Property,  Pennsylvania  Archives,  Vol. 
xix.  page  440,  Minute  Book  "G"  (Second  Series).

He  was  also  much  interested  in  public  affairs  and  held  several 
offices.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Assembly  from  Philadel- 
phia County,  3rd  month  nth,  1685,  again  on  3rd  month  10th,  1689,

mon Council  of  Philadelphia  in  1701,  and  December  15th,  1704, 
being  chosen  under  the  charter  of  October  25th,  1701.  (See  Vol. 
ix,  Second  Series,  Pennsylvania  Archives,  page  730.)  In  1705  he 
acted  as  one  of  a  committee  to  divide  the  city  into  wards.  He  was 
useful  in  public  affairs,  and  during  the  latter  part  of  his  life  lived 
in  the  city  proper,  near  the  corner  of  Second  and  Walnut  Streets 
where  he  kept  a  pewterer's  shop.  Like  his  father,  he  was  a  manu- 
facturer of,  as  well  as  a  dealer  in,  pewter  and  brass  plates  and 
utensils.

PAUL. 


PAUL. 

Joseph  Paul  was  born  circa  1650-3;  but  the  exact  time  and  place 
have  not  been  ascertained.  He  died  in  Oxford  Township,  Phila- 
delphia County,  4th  month,  1717,  being  then  a  member  of  Abington 
Monthly  Meeting.  On  2nd  May,  1680,  he  married  Margaret 
Roberts,  formerly  of  Taunton.  She  is  believed  to  have  been  the 
mother  of  all  his  children,  and  came  with  him  to  Pennsylvania,  where 
she  died  there,  after  1717. 

Joseph  Paul,  like  most  of  the  early  settlers  in  Pennsylvania,  was 
a  sufferer  on  account  of  his  religious  belief.  In  Besse's  "  Suffer- 
ings," are  these  references  to  the  Paul  family: 

Vol.  I,  Somersetshire,  "  from  a  Meeting  at  Crewkherne,  September  22nd 
1670,  Thomas  Paull."  From  a  Meeting  at  Ilminister,  September  7th,  1662, 
Susan  Paul,  and  September  31st,  1662,  Thomas  Paul.  To  the  Gaol  at  Ilches- 
ter,  May  29th,  1682,  Joseph  Paul  of  Ilminister  and  Philip  Paul  of  Stock- 
linch. 

It  appears  from  the  above,  that  just  prior  to  his  removal  to  Penn- 
sylvania, Joseph  Paul  was  living  in  Ilminister,  Somersetshire.  The 
parish  (Ilminister,  St.  Mary)  is  in  the  hundred  of  Abdick  and  Bul- 
stone,  and  about  13  miles  southwest  by  west  from  Uchester,  and 
one  mile  from  the  river  He. 

Sometime  between  the  autumn  of  1685  and  early  spring  of  1686, 
Joseph  Paul  arrived  in  Pennsylvania.  There  is  a  conveyance  to  him 
of  land  which  is  recorded,  at  the  Recorder  of  Deeds  Office,  Phila- 
delphia in  Book  C,  2,  Vol.  iii,  pages  1,  2  and  3,  of  which  the  follow- 
ing is  a  brief  extract. 

The  10th  day  of  the  7th  month  in  the  year  by  the  account  now  in  use 
in  England,  1685,  between  Edward  Blinman  of  the  parish  of  Shepton  Mallet 
in  the  county  of  Somerset,  clothier  of  the  one  part  and  Joseph  Paul  of 
Ilminster  in  the  county  aforesaid,  sergemaker  of  the  other  part  &c,  for  250 
acres   in   Pennsylvania  being  one  quarter  of  the   said   1000  acres  &c. 

This  conveyance  is  referred  to  in  several  places  in  Vol.  xix,  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Archives,  Second  Series.  Most  if  not  all  of  these 
entries,  which  are  in  the  "  Minutes  of  the  Board  of  Property,"  are

here  given.  They  are  of  interest  as  showing  the  procedure  necessary 
to  obtain  possession  of  land  purchased  in  England  to  be  afterwards

Joseph  Paul  was  purchasing  land  and  adding  to  his  holding  at  differ- 
.  iit  times.  In  1703  he  bought  of  Richard  Busby  100  acres  of  land  in 
Dublin  Township.  He  was  undoubtedly  a  large  land-holder,  and 
although  hi-  trade  in  his  native  country  was  that  of  a  sergemaker, 


PAUL.  237 

he  abandoned  it  upon  his  arrival  in  Pennsylvania,  and  became  a 
farmer.  He  styles  himself  "yeoman''  in  his  will.  He  was  a  man 
of  influence  in  his  neighborhood,  and,  in  1687,  was  elected  a  member 
of  Assembly  from  Oxford  Township,  serving  that  year.  His  home 
farm  was  not  far  from  where  the  present  Trinity  Church,  Oxford,  is 
situate,  off  of  the  Bristol  Turnpike,  north  of  Frankford.  In  1693 
he  was  assessed  and  taxed  as  follows,  £100,  paid  8  shillings  and  four 
pence. 

A  transcript  of  the  marriage  certificate  of  Joseph  Paul  and  Mar- 
garet Roberts,  is  recorded  in  the  original  Book  of  the  Quarterly 
Meeting  of  Devonshire  Monthly  Meeting  of  the  East  Division  of 
Devonshire,  Collumpton  Meeting,  and  is  as  follows :

PEARSON 


PEARSON. 

Thomas  Pearson  was  born  in  England,  2nd  month  12th,  1708. 
This  date  is  from  the  marriage  certificate  of  Benjamin  Pearson  and 
Susanna  Burbeck,  in  the  possession  of  Jacob  Serrill  of  Darby,  Penn- 
sylvania. He  was  a  son  of  Benjamin  Pearson  and  Susanna  Bur- 
beck,  his  wife,  and  came  with  his  parents  to  Pennsylvania  about  the 
year  1712.  They  removed  from  Rotherham,  or  near  by,  in  the  West 
Riding  of  Yorkshire.  It  appears  that  he  and  his  family  settled 
within  the  limits  of  Darby  Monthly  Meeting,  but  after  a  time,  when 
Thomas  had  grown  up,  he  is  recorded  as  being  within  the  limits  of 
Chester  Monthly  Meeting.  On  3rd  month  3rd,  1732,  according  to 
the  Minute  Book  of  Darby  Monthly  Meeting,  he  brought  a  certifi- 
cate of  removal  from  Chester  Monthly  Meeting.  This  was  just 
prior  to  his  marriage.  Pie  died  in  Darby  1st  month  13th,  1763,  aged 
55  years,  as  recorded  in  the  Darby  Monthly  Meeting  Books. 

When  fourteen  years  old  he  was  apprenticed  to  Joshua  Copeland 
of  Chester,  a  shoemaker.  The  following  is  a  transcript  of  the 
articles  of  indenture,  the  original  in  1894  was  in  the  possession  of 
Jacob  Serrill  of  Darby.

On  the  opposite  side,  or  outside,  page  of  the  original,  some  one  has 
written  the  words  "  Thomas  Pearson  is  a  genteellman."  It  is  an 
interesting  document,  and  shows  the  mode  then  adopted  to  bind  a 
young  man  to  learn  a  trade.

event  are  as  follows.  5th  month  19th,  1732,  Thomas  Pearson  and

7th  month  6th,  1732,  Friends  report  that  at  Thomas  Pearson's 
marriage  "  things  were  well." 

The  certificate  is  recorded  in  Book  A.,  page  73,  Darby  Monthly 
Meeting. 

8th  month  2nd,  1745,  The  Overseers  having  brought  a  complaint 
against  Joseph  Bethell  for  not  complying  with  his  former  promises 
to  pay  Thomas  Pearson  his  just  demands,  therefore  this  meeting

that  strangers  are  not  buried  within  the  bounds  appointed  to  bury

While  it  will  thus  be  seen  that  Thomas  Pearson  took  sincere 
interest  in  the  religious  society  of  which  he  was  a  consistent  member, 
yet  he  did  not  neglect  the  other  duties  that  go  to  make  a  useful 
citizen.

roads.  Two  of  these  petitions  as  found  in  Pennsylvania  Archives,

Isaac  Pearson  Born  the  24th  of  ye  nth  Mo'th,  1713. 
Susanna  Pearson  my  wife  Died  June  27  anno  1745. 

Samuel  Pearson  was  Born  ye  Twenty  fourth  of  ye  1st  month,  1716/17.

Joseph  Pearson  Died  ye  30th  of  6th  month,  1738. 

Susanna  Burbeck,  was  born  10th  month  31st,  1680  (from  Chester- 
field Monthly  Meeting  Records,  Derbyshire,  England,  from  Digest 
at  Devonshire  House,  Bishopsgate-without,  London,  E.C.),  and 
died,  according  to  record  on  the  marriage  certificate,  as  referred 
to,  about  June  (or  4th  month,  Old  style)  27th,  1745,  in  Darby, 
Pennsylvania.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Thomas  Burbeck  and  his 
wife  Elizabeth,  of  Tupton,  or  Tapton,  which  is  a  township  in  the 
parish  of  Chesterfield,  one  and  a  half  miles  northeast  by  east  from 
that  place.  There  is  a  township  named  Tupton  in  the  parish  of 
North  Wingfield,  which  is  about  four  or  four  and  one  half  miles 
south-southeast  from  Chesterfield.  Although  these  places  are  in 
different  parishes,  they  are  both  in  the  Union  of  Chesterfield. 

The  witnesses  to  a  Friends'  marriage  sign  in  the  order  of  near- 
ness of  relationship  to  the  bride  and  groom.  The  following  are 
some  of  the  names  signed  to  the  certificate  of  Benjamin  Pearson 
and  Susanna  Burbeck,  with  the  relationship  explained: 

Lawrence  Pearson,  father  of  Benjamin  Pearson. 
Peter  Burbeck,  brother  of  Susanna  Burbeck,  her  father  being  dead. 
Joseph  Frith ;  what  his  exact  relation  was  to  either  the  bride  or  groom  is  not 
positively   known,  but  it   was  a  near  one,  perhaps  uncle   to  the  bride. 


PEARSON.  247 

A  Joseph  Frith,  who  must  have  been  a  man  of  some  standing,  had 
taken  from  him,  according  to  Bessie's  "  Sufferings,"  Vol.  i,  p.  144,  in 
September,  1685,  sheep  horses,  etc.,  to  the  value  of  120  pounds.  In 
1657,  the  name  of  John  Frith  of  Chesterfield,  occurs  as  a  sufferer  on 
account  of  his  religious  belief;  again  several  times  in  the  years  to  1668, 
when  he  and  his  wife  are  excommunicated.  His  name  occurs  also  in 
1688. 

John  Beard;  he  was  a  brother-in-law,  to  Susanna  Burbeck,  having  married 
Elizabeth,  her  sister,   in   1695. 

Richard  Clayton  and  Josiah  Clayton,  perhaps  only  friends,  although  Josiah 
Clayton,  in  1710,  married  Dinah  Burbeck  niece  of  Susann's. 

A  few  of  the  women  signers,  were  as  follows : 

Patience  Pearson;   supposed  to  be  the  mother  of  Benjamin. 

Alice  Frith ;  perhaps  wife  of  Joseph   Frith. 

Dinah  Burbeck;  she  was  the  wife  of  Thomas  Burbeck  who  was  a  brother  of 

Susanna. 
Margaret  Pearson;  perhaps  a  sister  to  Benjamin. 
Katherine  Storrs ;  if  not  a  relation,  a  friend  of  the  families. 

About  the  year  17 14,  Benjamin  Pearson,  his  wife  Susanna,  and 
their  sons,  Benjamin,  Jr.,  Joseph,  Thomas,  John  and  Isaac,  removed 
to  Darby,  Pennsylvania.  Benjamin  Pearson  never  acquired  posses- 
sion of  land  in  the  Province,  for  the  reason,  that  he  never  became 
reconciled  to  his  new  location.  He  was  a  very  sedate  man,  with 
strong  ideas  of  the  superiority  of  English  things  over  those  of 
America,  and  it  appears  that  he  was  a  better  educated  man  than  the 
average  early  settler.  The  only  product  of  the  new  colony  he  would 
acknowledge  was  as  good  as  that  raised  in  England,  was  turnips. 
Both  he  and  his  wife  continued  in  membership  with  the  Society  of 
Friends  to  the  time  of  their  deaths.  He  is  believed  to  have  held  no 
official  position. 

Children  of  Benjamin  Pearson  and  Susanna  his  wife: 

Benjamin,   born   1st  month  30th,   1705. 

Joseph,  born  6th  month  8th,  1706;  died  8th  month  30th,  1738;  married 

(it  is  believed,  in  1730)   Elizabeth  Lewis.- 
Thomas,       born  2nd  month  12th,  1708;  died  1st  month   13,  1763;  married 

Hannah  Blunston. 
John,  born  1st  month  25th,   1711;  married    (Morgan  Bunting's  notes) 

Sarah  Wood. 
Isaac,  born  nth  month  24th,  1713;  married  (Futhey  &  Copes'  "History 

of    Chester    Co.")    Martha,    daughter    of    William    Garret    and 

Marv  his  wife.

Lawrence  Pearson.  The  exact  date  and  place  of  his  birth  are 
unknown.  He  was  probably  born  about  1655.  In  or  about  the  year 
1692,  he  was  living  in  Tinsley  or  Tinsley  Balby,  which  is  a  chapelry 
in  the  parish  and  Union  of  Rothcrham,  West  Riding  of  York.  It  is 
two  and  three  quarter  miles  southwest  by  west  from  Rotherham. 
His  wife's  name  was  Patience  (surname  unknown).  Lawrence 
Pearson  died,  it  is  supposed,  prior  to  the  time  of  the  removal  to 
Pennsylvania  of  his  son  Benjamin  Pearson,  which  was  about  the 
year  17 14.  That  Lawrence  Pearson  was  in  Tinsley  in  1692  is  proven 
from  the  following  deed,  the  original  being  in  the  possession  of 
Jacob  Serrill  of  Darby  :

Another  original  paper  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Serrill  is  the 
following;  it  relates  to  a  law-suit  of  Lawrence  Pearson's  respecting 
a  mortgage:

What  relationship  existed  between  Lawrence  Pearson  and  the 
people  mentioned  in  this  paper,  if  any,  has  not  been  determined. 
John  Lawrence  may  have  been  a  kinsman,  as  the  name  Lawrence 
seems  to  indicate  a  connection. 

The  following  memoranda,  taken  from  various  books,  show  where 
the  name  Pearson  occurs,  in  Yorkshire,  among  those  who  became 
members  of  the  Society  of  Friends'  prior  to  the  year  1700.  They 
may  or  may  not  have  been  related  to  Lawrence  Pearson :

PENNELL. 


P  E  N  N  E  L  L. 

Robert  Pennell  was  born  in  the  parish  of  Balderton,  Notting- 
hamshire, England,  and  baptized  25th  October,  1640,  being  son  of 
Robert  Pennell  and  Isabel,  his  wife.  He  died  in  Middletown  Town- 
ship, now  Delaware  County,  in  1728.  Middletown  was  then  Chester 
County.  The  date  of  his  will  was  May  22d,  1727;  proved  February 
25th,  1728-9.  A  description  of  the  parish  of  Balderton,  an  extract 
of  which  is  here  given,  may  be  found  in  "  Lewis'  Topographical 
Dictionary." 

"Balderton  (St.  Giles),  a  parish  in  the  union  of  Newark,  Southern 
Division  of  the  wapentake  of  Newark  and  of  the  county  of  Nottingham,  2 
miles  (S.E.)  from  Newark.  .  .  .  The  living  is  a  vicarage  annexed  to  that 
of  Farndon.  The  church  is  a  very  handsome  edifice,  principally  in  the  later 
style  of  English  architecture,  with  a  lofty  spire;  it  has  a  richly  ornamented 
Norman  porch  of  exceeding  beauty  and  in  good  preservation.  &c.  ..." 

This  parish  is  located  close  to  the  borders  of  Lincolnshire  and  is 
on  the  road  to  Newark.  Recent  investigations  made  in  the  Balder- 
ton parish  registers,  show  that  Robert  Pennell  was  married  twice. 
In  1665  he  married  Elizabeth  Hyandson,  who  died  about  the  year 
1670-1.  He  married  secondly,  Hannah  (surname  unknown),  and 
had  issue  by  both  wives.  About  the  year  1673  he  became  interested 
in  the  views  as  set  forth  by  George  Fox,  and  became  a  member  of 
the  Society  of  Friends  as  did  his  wife  Hannah.  She  was  born  in 
the  year  1640;  died  12th  month  4th,  171 1,  in  Pennsylvania,  at  the 
age  of  71  years.  In  the  year  1684,  on  the  third  day  of  the  fifth 
month,  he  obtained  a  certificate  of  removal  from  "  Friends  at  Ful- 
beck."  The  monthly  meeting  was  held  at  Fulbeck  which  is  in  Lin- 
colnshire a  few  miles  east  of  Balderton.  Between  that  year  and 
1686,  with  his  wife  and  family,  he  removed  to  Pennsylvania,  his 
certificate  of  removal  also  including  the  names  of  Thomas  Garrett, 
Hugh  Rodnell,  Henry  Pennell,  and  Richard  Parker,  their  wives  and 
children.  On  arriving  in  Chester  County,  he  became  an  active  mem- 
ber of  Middletown  Meeting.  Appointed  constable  for  Middle- 
town,  1687. 

In  1691  he  purchased  250  acres  of  land  in  Edgmont  township,  and

Samuel  Sellers,  Jr.,  was  born  3rd  month  12th,  1690,  in  Darby 
Township,  now  Delaware  County  but  at  that  time  Chester  County. 
He  was  a  son  of  Samuel  Sellers  and  Ann  Gibbons  of  Darby,  and 
died  in  the  same  township,  6th  month  3rd,  1773,  aged  83  years  and 
11  days.  The  apparent  discrepancy  in  time  being  the  difference 
between  Old  Style  and  New  Style  of  reckoning.  On  8th  month  12th, 
1712,  at  Friends'  Meeting  House  in  Darby,  he  married  Sarah  Smith.

there  5th  month  24th,  1778.  She  was  a  daughter  of  John  Smith  and 
Eleanor  Dolby,  of  the  same  place. 

Samuel  Sellers  does  not  seem  to  have  held  any  public  office, 
apparently  living  quietly,  taking  care  of  his  business  and  raising  his 
family.  The  farm  he  owned  was  located  in  Upper  Darby  Township, 
near  to  where  the  present  "  Millbourne  Mills  "  are  situate,  his  father 
owning  a  large  tract  of  land  in  the  same  neighborhood,  on  which  the 
family  originally  settled.

or  so  he  lived  in  a  cave.  This  was  on  a  farm  he  rented  until  about 
the  year  1690,  when  a  tract  of  100  acres  was  patented  to  him.  In 
1691  he  purchased  75^2  acres  from  Charles  Lee.  This  land  was 
situate  near  where  the  West  Chester  road  crosses  Cobb's  Creek,  at 
the  west  end  of  Market  St.  and  the  Philadelphia  City  Line.  The 
place  has  long  been  known  as  "  Sellers  Hall." 

He  was  a  strict  member  of  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends. 

In  1684  Samuel  Sellers  married.  The  minutes  of  Darby  Meeting 
show  that  Samuel  Sellers  and  Ann  Gibbons  declared  their  intentions 
of  marriage  with  each  other  a  second  time,  6th  month  6th,  1684. 
They  were  doubtless  married  soon  after.  The  book  containing  the 
record  of  certificates  of  marriage  is  not  known  to  be  in  existence; 
perhaps  the  marriage  certificate  of  Samuel  Sellers  and  Ann  Gibbons 
may  be  in  existence,  and  in  the  keeping  of  some  one  of  their 
descendants. 

Ann  Gibbons  was  born  in  Derbyshire,  England,  and  died  nth 
month  19th,  1742/3,  in  Darby.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Henry 
Gibbons  and  his  wife  Helen,  of  Darby,  Pennsylvania. 

The  only  instance  of  Samuel  Sellers  holding  a  public  office  will 
be  found  in  the  Court  Records  of  Chester  County.

In  1722,  in  a  list  of  taxables  residing  in  the  Townships  forming 
what  is  now  Delaware  County,  his  name  appears  in  Darby,  as  being 
assessed  for  land,  to  the  amount  of  £51. 

In  1693  a  provincial  tax  was  levied  of  one  penny  per  pound  on

Samuel  Sellers  appears  in  the  list,  for  six  shillings.

SMITH 


SMITH. 

John  Smith  was  baptized  in  1645,  and  was  born  in  October  of 
that  year,  in  Leicestershire,  England.  He  died  in  Darby,  Pennsyl- 
vania, 12th  month  nth,  1714,  aged  69  years  and  4  months.  The 
following  account  of  him  is  copied  from  "  A  Collection  of  Memorials 
concerning  Divers  deceased  Ministers  and  others  of  the  People 
called  Quakers,  in  Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey,  and  Parts  adjacent, 
from  nearly  the  first  Settlement  thereof  to  the  Year  1787."  Phila- 
delphia, MDCCLXXXVII,  pp.  42  and  43,  etc. 

A  TESTIMONY  FROM  DERBY  MONTHLY  MEETING  IN 
PENNSYLVANIA,  CONCERNING  JOHN  SMITH. 

He  was  born  in  Licestershire,  in  Old  England,  in  1645,  and  was  convinced 
of  the  truth  at  the  age  of  fourteen  years,  and  being  faithful  thereto,  after 
some  time  he  came  forth  in  the  ministry.  He  was  an  early  settler  in  Penn- 
sylvania, where  he  was  well  beloved.  Being  taking  sick,  he  was  visited  by 
many  friends;  and  about  two  days  before  his  departure,  being  asked  how  he 
did,  he  answered,  "  I  am  very  poorly  and  weak  indeed,  but  much  easier  than 
I  have  been,  for  I  was  extreme  ill,  so  sick  and  full  of  pain,  such  as  I  never 
had  undergone  before;  so  that  I  could  not  retire  in  my  mind  to  God,  my 
extremity  was  so  great;  but  now  the  Lord  has  been  pleased  to  give  me  ease, 
so  that  I  can  stay  my  mind  on  him,  for  which  I  am  truly  thankful :  And  now 
I  feel  the  fresh  remembrance  or  renewings  of  the  love  of  God  flowing  into 
my  heart,  which  is  of  much  more  comfort  to  my  soul  than  all  transitory 
things  that  are  here  below.  Now  I  feel  his  living  divine  presence  is  with  me, 
which  bears  up  my  spirit  over  that  which  flesh  and  blood  would  or  could  not 
be  able  to  bear." 

Shortly  after,  a  friend  taking  leave  of  him,  asked  him  if  he  thought  he 
should  recover,  "That  (said  he)  I  am  not  worthy  to  know,  however  I  am 
content;  and  this  I  know,  that  if  we  abide  faithful  to  God  to  the  end,  we 
shall  receive  a  godly  portion  so  farewell,  and  the  Lord  go  along  with  thee." 
At  another  time  he  said,  "He  was  full  of  pain,  yet  he  could  sing  of  the 
mercy  and  goodness  of  God  to  his  soul  in  the  midst  of  affliction."  After- 
wards adding,  "  Do  not  mourn  for  me,  but  be  still  and  quiet,  and  let  me 
pass  away  quietly,  that  so  my  soul  may  enter  into  God's  everlasting  rest; 
for  my  conscience  is  clear  from  guilt  in  the  face  of  all  men."  Saying,  "  Come 
Lord  Jesus,  receive  my  soul,  thy  servant  is  ready,  come  quickly."  This  he 
spoke  in  great  freshness  and  cheerfulness  of  spirit  saying,  "  Now  I  think  I 
am  near  my  end;"  but  reviving  again,  he  sat  up,  and  his  children  being

present,  he  said  to  them,  ''  I  was  never  covetous  to  get  a  great  deal  of  this 
world's  riches,  but  I  have  endeavoured  to  bring  you  up  in  the  fear  of  the 
Lord,  and  educate  you  in  the  way  of  his  truth  to  the  best  of  my  under- 
standing; and  if  you  do  but  wait  upon  the  Lord  in  the  sincerity  of  your 
hearts,  for  the  dropping  down  of  the  love  of  God  upon  your  souls  in  the 
meetings  and  gatherings  of  the  Lord's  people,  he  will  shed  his  blessings 
amongst  you;  for  he  hath  been  and  is  a  father  to  the  fatherless,  and  as 
a  husband  to  the  widow."  This  he  spoke  just  before  his  departure,  being 
fresh  in  spirit,  and  perfect  in  sense  and  memory  to  the  last  hour. 
He  died  the  nth  day  of  the  twelfth  month  1714,  aged  sixty  nine  years  and 
four  months. 

He  married  at  Harby,  in  Leicestershire,  3rd  month  4th,  1679, 
Eleanor  Dolby. 

Here  is  a  copy  of  the  marriage  certificate,  from  the  original  book 
deposited  at  Somerset  House,  London : 

Monthly  Meeting  at  Leicester. 

This  may  certifie  to  whom  it  may  concern  that  John  Smyth  of  Croxton  in 
the  county  of  Leicester  hath  taken  Eleanor  Dolby  of  Harby  in  the  same 
county  to  be  his  wife.  And  the  said  Eleanor  hath  taken  the  said  John  to  be 
her  husband.  At  a  publick  Assembly  of  the  people  of  God  at  Harby,  upon 
the  fourth  day  of  the  third  month,  1679. 
In   the  presence   of, 

William  Garrett  Richard  Parker  Elizabeth  Dubbleday

Eleanor  Dolby  was  born  at  Harby,  in  Leicestershire,  in  1653,  and 
died  in  Darby,  Pennsylvania,  7th  month  10th,  1708,  aged  55  years. 
The  same  book  of  Memorials  thus  refers  to  her: 

"  She  was  born  at  Harborough,  (This  is  meant  for  Harby,  see  note  in 
reference  to  Harby  and  Harborough  at  the  end  of  this  account  of  John 
and  Eleanor  Smith)  in  Leicestershire,  Old  England  her  maiden  name  was 
Eleanor  Dolby.  She  received  the  truth  about  the  age  of  thirteen  years,  and 
lived  and  died  therein,  being  a  religious  exemplary  woman,  and  some 
years  before  her  death  was  concerned  in  a  public  testimony.  A  little  before 
her  departure  desiring  that  her  husband  and  children  should  come  and  sit 
down  by  her,  she  spoke  as  follows,  '  I  entreat  you  my  children  to  walk 
soberly,  plainly  and  keep  to  the  truth,  and  the  Lord  will  provide  for  you 
every  way  beyond  your  expectation.  I  am  clear  of  you  having  done  the 
part  of  a  tender  mother  to  you:  I  leave  and  commit  you  to  the  Lord,  who 


SMITH.  287 

is  able  to  keep  you  to  the  end  of  your  days,'  She  desired  them  not  to  mourn 
if  it  should  please  God  to  remove  her  from  amongst  them  saying,  '  It  will  be 
my  great  gain.'  Often  repeating  her  full  assurance  of  future  happiness, 
adding,  '  I  can  praise  thy  name  O  Lord  in  the  midst  of  affliction,  for  surely 
thou  art  worthy  of  all  praise,  honour  and  glory,  and  that  forever  more;  for 
thou  neither  leavest  nor  forsakest  those  that  put  their  trust  in  thee.'  Then 
said,  '  Dear  children  be  content,  for  I  shall  die  in  favour  with  God,  and 
true  love  and  unity  with  his  people.'  She  desired  to  be  dissolved,  saying, 
'  I  can  freely  give  up  husband  and  children  and  all  this  world,  to  be  with 
the  Lord,  whose  presence  I  feel  flowing  as  a  river  into  my  soul.' 
She  died  the  10th  day  of  the  seventh  month,  1708,  aged  fifty-five  years. 
In  the  time  of  her  last  illness,  she  wrote  the  following  epistle  to  the 
monthly-meeting  of  women  friends  at  Derby,  viz. 
'  Dear  Sisters, 

Herewith  I  send  you  the  last  salutation  of  my  love,  with  whom  I  have  been 
many  times  refreshed  and  truly  comforted.  I  say  I  have  travelled  with 
you  through  various  exercises  and  difficulties,  when  the  Lord  has  been 
sometimes  pleased  to  give  us  (as  it  were)  the  bread  of  adversity  to  eat,  and 
the  water  of  affliction  to  drink;  yet  blessed  be  his  name,  he  has  sweetened 
our  cups  many  times  as  with  honey,  and  sustained  us  as  with  the  oil  of 
the  cruse ;  and  by  his  sweet  presence  caused  our  cups  to  overflow,  to  the 
praise  of  his  great  name. 

Wherefore,  dear  sisters,  I  entreat  you  to  dwell  in  the  love  of  God,  which 
love  is  the  bond  of  peace. 

Let  charity  be  found  to  dwell  amongst  you,  and  then  I  do  believe,  you  will 
be  neither  barren  nor  unfruitful,  but  your  branches  laden  with  good  and 
weighty  fruit,  which  will  find  acceptance  with  God.  So  no  more,  but  my 
tender  love  to  you  in  the  blessed  truth.  I  take  my  leave  and  bid  you  fare- 
well in  the  Lord  The  last  from  your  loving  sister, 

Eleanor  Smith.'" 

John  Smith  and  his  wife  removed  to  Pennsylvania,  about  the  year 
1684,  and  settled  in  Darby  Township  on  a  farm  near  what  is  now 
known  as  the  Springfield  Road,  about  half  way  between  Darby 
Borough  and  the  Providence  Road.  In  the  tax  list  for  1693,  he  is 
assessed  in  the  township  of  Darby. 

The  will  of  John  Smith  is  at  West  Chester,  Pennsylvania,  and  is 
dated  12th  month  10th,  1 714/5;  proved  9th  month  8th,  17 15.  Book 
A,  22. 

In  the  account  of  Eleanor  Dolby  as  given  in  the  book  of  Memo- 
rials, referred  to,  it  states  that  she  was  born  in  Harborough.  This  is 
a  mistake  for  Harby.  Market  Harborough  is  a  town  of  considerable 
size  in  the  southern  part  of  Leicestershire.    Harby  (St.  Mary)  is  a

parish  in  the  hundred  of  Framland,  in  the  Northern  Division  of  the 
county  of  Leicester,  about  eight  and  three  quarter  miles  from 
Melton-Mowbray.  A  little  to  the  southwest  is  Hose,  and  it  was  here 
that  some  of  William  Garrett's  children  were  born;  but  he  after- 
wards resided  at  Harby.  He  it  was  whose  name  is  signed  first  to  the 
marriage  certificate  of  John  Smith  and  Eleanor  Dolby.  About  three 
miles  to  the  southeast  is  Croxton-Keyrial  (St.  John)  ;  it  is  a  parish 
also  in  the  hundred  of  Framland,  and  is  seven  miles  southwest  from 
Grantham  in  Lincolnshire.  This  was  John  Smith's  native  place.  In 
171 1,  a  William  Smith  bequeathed  land  producing  in,  per  annum, 
for  which  twelve  poor  children  are  taught.  This  man,  no  doubt, 
was  of  the  same  family  as  that  of  John  Smith.  Sarah  Smith,  a  sister 
of  John,  married  at  Darby,  10th  month  19th,  1688,  John  Marshall, 
and  two  brothers,  Thomas  Smith,  from  Croxton,  who  died  in  1705-6, 
his  wife  Sarah  dying  in  1716  (will  at  Philadelphia,  proved  March

was  named  Elizabeth  (she  died  10th  month  27th,  1702),  and  his 
second  wife  Elizabeth  Prichett,  widow ;  his  will  is  at  West  Chester,

THOMAS 


THOMAS. 


Rees  Thomas,  Jr.,  was  born  in  the  township  of  Merion,  now  in 
Montgomery,  but  then  in  Philadelphia  County,  2nd  month,  Old 
Style,  22nd,  1693,  and  died  in  the  year  1758,  his  will  being 
proved  in  that  year  at  Philadelphia.  He  was  a  son  of  Rees  Thomas 
of  Merion  by  Martha  Awbrey,  or  Aubrey,  his  wife,  and  married, 
at  Merion  Meeting  House,  8th  month  2nd,  1724,  Elizabeth,  daughter 
of  Dr.  Edward  Jones  of  Merion.  She  was  born  in  Merion  on  the 
22nd  of  the  nth  month,  1693,  and  died  12th  month  6th,  1759. 

Rees  Thomas,  Jr.,  was  the  eldest  child.  After  the  death  of  his 
father,  Rees  Thomas,  Jr.  settled  on  290  acres  of  land  in  Merion 
which  he  acquired  under  his  father's  will,  it  being  the  home  planta- 
tion. This  farm  was  located  near  the  Radnor  township  line,  in  the 
corner  formed  by  the  three  townships  of  Haverford,  Radnor,  and 
Merion. 

An  extract  of  the  marriage  certificate  of  Rees  Thomas,  Jr.,  and 
Elizabeth  Jones  is  here  given  from  the  Radnor  Monthly  Meeting

Jepsto  is  intended  for  Chepstow,  a  town  in  the  extreme  south- 
eastern part  of  Monmouthshire.  It  is  situated  on  the  river  Wye 
near  its  confluence  with  the  Severn.  In  1692,  a  few  months  after 
his  arrival  in  the  colony,  he  married  Martha  Awbrey,  to  whom  he 
was  engaged  prior  to  sailing,  which  is  what  is  intended  to  be  meant 
in  the  certificate  of  removal.  Here  follows  a  brief  extract  from 
their  marriage  certificate  as  found  on  record  in  the  book  of  Haver-

A  few  months  after  his  marriage  Rees  Thomas  purchased  300 
acres  of  land  in  Merion  Township,  in  the  Welsh  tract.  The  deed 
was  dated  6th  month  15th,  1692,  and  the  land  was  bought  from 
Sarah  Eckley,  widow  of  John.  Some  years  after  he  added  an  ad- 
joining tract,  bought  of  Edward  Prichard.  This  whole  farm  was 
situate  in  the  corner  made  by  the  three  townships,  Radnor,  Merion 
and  Haverford,  near  to  the  present  village  of  Rosemont  and  part  of 
it  was  some  years  since  comprised  in  the  Warner  estate.  At  the 
time  of  his  death,  as  will  be  seen  by  his  will,  he  held-  some  650  acres 
in  Merion,  400  acres  in  Whitpain  Township  (now  Montgomery 
County),  with  lots  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia  and  City  Liberties.

"  A  few  years  after  their  marriage,  Rees  Thomas  and  Martha  Awbrey

Land  and  I  so  beloved  amongst  them.  I  doe  admite  to  what  thee  sayes 
in  thy  Letter  y't  an  Aubrey  was  better  known  than  I,  though  I  am  hear 
very  well  aquanted  with  most  in  those  parts,  he  is  ye  first  Aubrey  in  Pen-

pounds  att  Lest  and  cannot  have  them  upon  no  account.  I  had  about  16 
score  busels  of  wheat  this  year.  I  have  15  heds  of  cattle,  six  horses  what 
dyed  this  winter,  for  it  was  a  hard  winter,  they  say  they  never  saw  ye 
like    of." 

The  "  William  Fishier  of  Rose  "  formerly,  referred  to,  is  probably 
identical  with  William  Fisher  of  Ross  in  Herefordshire.  In  1677, 
on  the  18th  of  3rd  month,  he  had  £5..o..o  taken  from  him  on 
account  of  his  being  a  Quaker.     (Harl.,  Mss.,  7506.) 

Rees  Thomas  was  commissioned  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  14th 
June,  1722,  and  on  the  12th  of  May,  1725.  He  was  elected  to  a  seat 
in  the  Assembly,  to  represent  his  part  of  the  County,  in  the  years 
1702,  1705,  1719  and  1720.  Martha  Awbrey  was  a  daughter  of 
William  Awbrey  of  Llanelieu  in  Brecknockshire,  and  she  was  born 
after  1662,  when  her  sister,  of  the  same  name,  died,  and  before

1670.  She  probably  saw  the  light  of  day  about  the  years  1665-67, 
and  died  in  Merion,  Pennsylvania,  on  the  7th  of  12th  month,  1726- 
2^.  Her  parents  were  related  to  each  other,  being  first,  or  according 
to  some  accounts,  second,  cousins.

A  certain  William  Thomas  was  in  Radnor  township,  Pennsyl- 
vania, as  early  as  ist  month  2nd,  1686.  (See  Philadelphia  Deed 
Book  E,  I,  Vol.  5,  page  504.)  This  citation  relates  to  a  conveyance 
of  100  acres  of  land,  part  of  200  acres,  patented  to  David  Davis, 
30th  of  8th  month  1685.  (Philadelphia,  Book  A,  folio  101.)  The 
said  100  acres  being  conveyed  by  David  Davis  to  William  Thomas. 

William  Thomas  died  in  1689,  and  was  buried  7th  month  28th  of 
the  same  year.  His  will,  dated  7th  month  18th,  1689,  was  proved  at 
Philadelphia,  9th  month  4th,  1689,  and  is  recorded  in  Book  A,  page 
152.  He  is  styled  of  Radnor,  planter.  He  makes  his  wife  Ann, 
executrix,  and  mentions  brother-in-law,  David  Davies,  sister-in-law 
Katherine  Davies,  children  of  his  sister;  children  of  his  brother. 
"  Katherine  Davies  my  sister-in-law  and  her  grand-child  Katherine 
Orme."  "  My  cozen  Rees  Potter."  Other  names  mentioned  are 
Ellis  Ellis,  Humphrey  Ellis,  David  Lawrence,  Katherine  Morgan, 
Ellis  Pugh,  Evan  Harry,  Hugh  Harry,  Daniel  Harry,  and  Owen 
Morgan.  He  appoints  as  Trustees,  David  Lawrence,  Rees  Petter, 
David  Evan,  and  John  Humphrey.  "  To  William  Thomas  eldest  son 
of  my  brother  John  Thomas  if  he  will  come."  This  was  a  legacy  of 
certain  lands,  on  condition  that  this  William  Thomas,  son  of  John, 
should  come  over  from  his  native  land  and  settle  on  them. 

William  Thomas,  the  nephew,  did  come,  with  his  wife  Margaret, 
and  their  children,  and  about  the  same  time  David  Thomas,  a 
brother,  also  removed  to  Pennsylvania.  It  will  be  noted  that  on  the 
marriage  certificate  of  Rees  Thomas  and  Martha  Awbrey,  the  first 
of  the  men  witnesses  were  William  Thomas  and  David  Thomas. 
At  the  marriage  of  Richard  Orme  and  Mary  Tyddyr  (or  Tudor),  at 
the  house  of  John  Bevan,  in  Radnor,  2nd  month  3rd,  1686,  among 
the  witnesses  were  David  Davis  and  William  Thomas.  At  the 
marriage  of  John  Thomas,  son  of  William  Thomas,  of  Radnor,  and 
Mary  Orme,  daughter  of  Richard,  on  12th  month  8th,  1715.  the 
witnesses  in  the  first  column  to  the  right  sign  in  the  following  order: 
William  Thomas,  Richard  Orme,  Mary  Orme,  Margaret  Thomas, 
David  Thomas,  Rees  Thomas,  Martha  Thomas,  John  Worth,  Anne 
Thomas,  Rees  Thomas,  Jr. 

At  the  marriage  of  Ann  Thomas,  daughter  of  William  Thomas  of 
Radnor,  with  Evan  Roberts  son  of  Robert  Ellis,  late  of  Radnor,  on 
nth  month  9th,  1716,  the  witnesses  were  (first  column  to  the  right)  : 


THOMAS.  30 l 

William  Thomas,  Margaret  Thomas,  Ellis  Roberts,  Aron  Roberts, 
Jane  Roberts.  In  the  next  column,  to  the  left:  Thomas  Thomas, 
John  Thomas,  William  Thomas,  David  Thomas,  Thamar  Thomas, 
(formerly  Miles  and  wife  of  Thomas  Thomas  eldest  son  of  William 
Thomas),  Rees  Thomas,  and  Martha  Thomas. 

At  the  marriage  of  Ellis  Roberts  of  Gwynedd,  and  Eliza  Thomas, 
daughter  of  David  Thomas  of  Radnor,  at  Radnor  on  1st  month 
30th,  1715,  the  witnesses  were  David  Thomas,  John  Roberts, 
Thomas  Thomas,  William  Roberts,  William  Thomas,  and  Rees 
Thomas.  All  this  evidence  shows  a  close  connection  between  Wil- 
liam Thomas  of  Radnor,  son  of  John  Thomas,  David  Thomas,  and 
Rees  Thomas.  David  Thomas  of  Radnor,  afterwards  of  Gwynedd, 
whose  daughter  Eliza,  or  Elizabeth,  married  Ellis  Roberts,  left  a 
will  which  is  on  file  at  Philadelphia,  Register  of  Wills  office,  Book  F, 
page  38,  year  1737.  He  styles  himself  as  of  Gwynedd,  yoeman,  and 
is  ancient  and  weak.  Names  children :  Elizabeth  Roberts,  Martha 
Jones,  Rachel  Davis,  and  David  Thomas;  the  latter,  his  son,  ap- 
pointed Executor.  Will  signed  29th  of  4th  month,  1732;  proved 
June  nth,  1737.    He  appoints  Trustees  as  follows: 

"  I  do  nominate  and  appoint  My  Well  Beloved  Cousins  (Welsh  cousins 
or  nephews)  viz.,  Thomas  Thomas  of  Radnor  in  Chester  County,  and  Rees 
Thomas  and  William  Thomas  both  of  Merion  in  Philadelphia  County  to  be 
Trustees  of  this  my  will."  Witnesses :  Rees  Thomas,  Elizabeth  Thomas,  and 
Samuel    Harry. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  David  Thomas  appoints  as  trustees 
Thomas  Thomas  of  Radnor,  who  was  the  eldest  son  and  heir  of 
William  Thomas,  Rees  Thomas,  and  William  Thomas,  of  Merion, 
both  sons  of  Rees  Thomas  and  Martha  Awbrey.  This  would 
make  William  Thomas  son  of  John  Thomas,  David  Thomas,  and 
Rees  Thomas,  brothers.  Therefore,  all  sons  of  John  Thomas 
of  Wales  who  did  not  come  to  Pennsylvania,  but  whose  brother 
William  Thomas  with  his  wife  Ann  (formerly  Davis),  did,  and  who 
willed  his  land,  as  already  mentioned,  to  William  Thomas,  eldest  son 
of  his  brother  John  Thomas. 

Here  are  a  few  items  which  seem  to  refer  to  William  Thomas  the 
elder,  of  Radnor,  planter,  before  his  removal  to  Pennsylvania.

From  the  Pennsylvania  Magazine  of  Hist,  and  Biog.,  Vol.  viii,

Katherine  his  sister  and  Mary  Tidey  (Tyder)  (sic)  her  daughter, 
Manhinleth,  in  Montgomeryshire,  on  the  ''Vine"  of  Liverpool, 
William  Preeson,  Master,  17th  day  of  the  7th  month,  1684.  The 
certificate  of  Mary  Tuddur,  of  removal  to  Pennsylvania,  is  entered 
in  Radnor  Meeting  Book.  It  was  issued  by  Dolgelley  Meeting,  on 
5th  month  3rd,  1684. 

Darowen  and  Machynlleth,  as  well  as  Penegoes,  are  places  close 
to  each  other  in  the  Western  part  of  Montgomeryshire,  near  to  the 
borders  of  Merionethshire. 

It  seems  pretty  certain  that  Ann  Davis  wife  of  William  Thomas, 
her  brother  David  Davis,  and  her  sister  Katherine  (widow  of  a  man 
named  Tudor)  were  natives  of  one  or  the  other  of  the  above 
parishes.  That  the  Thomas  Family  were  natives  of  the  same  locality 
is  not,  from  the  evidence,  to  be  considered  so  certain. 


TILL 


TILL. 

The  following  pedigree  of  the  Till  family  of  Whitgreave  is  from 
notes  left  by  Mr.  Lloyd,  and  after  a  careful  examination  of  the 
records  cited,  is  believed  to  be  absolutely  correct.  The  latter  part  of 
it,  however,  disagrees  with  a  MS.  pedigree  of  this  family  in  Mr, 
Lloyd's  collection  signed  Albert  Cook  Meyers,  and  dated  16  April, 
1900;  but  Mr.  Lloyd  points  out  that  it  is  impossible  that  the  latter 
can  be  right.  For  instance,  Mr.  Meyers  correctly  gives  the  date  of 
birth  of  Samuel,  first  son  of  John  Till  (died  1710)  as  1  month  7, 
1676;  but  in  stating  that  this  child  died  2  month  29,  1676;  he  is 
mistaken.  Friends  Records  at  Devonshire  House  give  Samuel  the 
"  father  "  at  Whitgreave  son  of  John,  buried  2  month  29,  1676.  It  is 
evident,  therefore,  that  this  Samuel  was  not  the  son  of  the  John  Till 
who  died  1710,  but  his  father.  The  burial  of  the  first  Samuel,  born 
1676,  is  not  given.  Sarah,  daughter  of  John  Till  (sister  of  Samuel), 
was  buried  9  month  11,  1693.  Again  Mr.  Meyers  gives  John  Till 
"of  Burson,"  buried  2d  month  26th,  1697,  as  a  son  °f  tne  Jonn  wn0 
died  1710,  and  brother  of  Rosamond;  but,  from  his  will  proved  the 
day  after  his  burial,  it  is  certain  that  this  was  John  Till  "the 
younger"  (so  called  in  will)  of  Whitgreave,  and  the  entry  of  his 
burial  also  records  him  as  "John  Till  the  younger  son  of  John." 
He  was,  therefore,  the  brother  of  the  Samuel  buried  1676,  and  uncle 
to  the  John  Till  who  died  1710.  It  appears  from  the  Till  wills  at 
Lichfield,  and  other  data,  that  John  Till  "  the  elder  "  of  Whitgreave, 
the  father  of  John  Till  "the  younger"  (died  1697)  and  Samuel  Till 
"the  father"  (died  1676),  lived  to  be  a  very  old  man,  surviving  at 
least  two  of  his  sons.  When  he  was  well  advanced  in  years  he 
settled  all  of  his  lands  upon  his  eldest  son  and  heir,  John,  and  to  his 
heirs  in  tail  male.  From  the  evidence  at  hand  it  appears  that  he  also 
turned  over  to  his  heirs  his  personal  estate,  reserving,  probably,  as 
was  customary  in  such  settlements,  which  were  very  common  at 
that  time,  lodgings,  food,  drink,  clothing,  and  a  certain  annual  money 
payment.  This  John  Till  the  elder  was  born  about  or  before  1610, 
so  that  he  was  97  years  old  or  more  at  the  time  of  his  son's  death  in

1697.  The  fact  that  he  held  the  Till  farms  in  and  about  Whitgreave, 
makes  it  possible  to  trace  him  for  several  generations.  He  was  the 
son  of  another  John  Till  of  Whitgreave  who  died  1672,  also  very 
advanced  in  years,  and  was  descended  from  Hugh  Till,  who  died 
1552-3. — Editor.

WILLIAMS. 

Thomas  Williams,  born  4th  month  26th,  1763,  in  Philadelphia, 
on  4th  Street  near  Greenleaf  Alley  (believed  to  be  the  same  as 
Merchants  Street),  west  side.  He  died  2nd  month  24th,  1846,  on 
the  east  side  of  10th  Street  below  Race  (old  number  103)  (Philadel- 
phia City  Directory  for  1844).  He  was  a  son  of  Samuel  Williams 
and  Ann  (Thomas). 

Thomas  Williams  married  twice,  first,  5th  month  9th,  1787,  at 
Pine  Street  Meeting,  Philadelphia,  Isabella,  daughter  of  Peter 
Howard.  She  was  born  nth  month  27th,  1763;  died  7th  month  4th, 
1796.  He  married,  secondly,  2nd  month  26th,  1799,  at  North 
Meeting  Philadelphia,  Hannah  Tompkins,  who  was  born  1772;  died 
8th  month  23rd  1849,  on  ner  77th  birthday.  She  was  a  daughter  of 
Jacob  Tompkins  and  Elizabeth  (Thomas)  of  Horsham  and  Philad- 
delphia.  The  Abington  Monthly  Meeting  marriages,  at  Horsham, 
give,  16th  of  nth  month,  1759,  Jacob  Tompkins,  of  Moreland,  and 
Elizabeth  Thomas  of  the  same  place. 

The  original  marriage  certificate  of  Thomas  Williams  and  Isabella 
Howard  is  in  the  possession  of  Reed  A.  Williams,  Jr.,  Greene  Street 
west  of  Chelten  Avenue,  Germantown.  It  is  on  parchment,  and  is 
about  15  and  a  half  inches  wide  by  24  inches  long.  The  follow- 
ing is  a  transcript : 

Whereas  Thomas  Williams  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia  in  Pennsylvania

"Marriage  Certificate  of  Thomas  Williams  and  Isabella  Howard." 

Thomas  Williams  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and 
was  a  strict  attender  of  meetings.  For  quite  a  while  he  was  an  Over- 
seer. Before  the  separation  of  the  Society  into  so-called  Orthodox 
and  Hicksite  branches,  he  went  to  North  Meeting;  afterwards  he 
sided  with  the  latter,  or  Hicksite  branch,  and  went  to  the  Meeting 
established  at  Fifth  and  Cherry  Streets,  on  the  land  now  occupied 
by  Horstmann's  Factory.  He  also  took  an  interest  in  the  develop- 
ment of  his  native  city,  and  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Common 
Council.     One  of  the  committees  of  this  body  which  he  served  on 


314  LLOYD  MANUSCRIPTS. 

was  that  of  the  Water  Supply,  or  as  it  was  then  called,  the  "  Water- 
ing Committee."  One  of  the  notices  received  by  him  to  attend  a 
meeting  of  this  committee  is  now  in  the  possession  of  the  writer, 
reading  as  follows : 

Philadelphia,  3d  April,  1827 
Sir 

The  Watering  Committee  will  meet  at  Fair  Mount,  on  the  4th  day  of 
April  at  y2  past  3  o'clock,  P.  M. 

Sam.   W.   Rush,   Register. 
To  Thomas  Williams  Esq. 

This  was  a  few  years  after  the  establishment  of  the  Waterworks 
at  Fairmount,  and  the  "  Watering  Committee  "  was  a  very  important 
one. 

Thomas  Williams  was  a  large,  stout,  fine-looking  man.  During 
the  latter  part  of  his  life  he  did  not  place  much  dependence  in 
modern  improvements.  He  was  opposed  to  the  introduction  of 
illuminating  gas,  fearing  that  it  would  explode.  When  some  of  the 
family  were  anxious  for  him  to  have  a  daguerreotype  taken,  it  was 
only  after  much  persuasion  that  he  agreed  to  have  it  done.  Unfor- 
tunately, he  was  placed  so  that  the  light  fell  directly  in  his  eyes, 
thus  producing  the  imperfect  and  only  picture  of  him  extant. 

The  will  of  Thomas  Williams,  being  a  long  and  interesting  docu- 
ment, is  given  here  in  full.  The  original  No.  45  of  the  year  1846,  is 
recorded  in  Book  18,  Page  239,  &c,  Register  of  Wills  Office  Phila- 
delphia. 

Be  it  remembered  that  I  Thomas  Williams,  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia 
in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  gentleman,  being  of  sound  disposing  mind  and 
memory  do  make  and  ordain  my  last  will  and  testament  in  manner  following, 
that  is  to  say:  Imprimis,  I  direct  all  my  just  debts  and  funeral  expenses  to 
Ijc  fully  paid  and  satisfied  as  soon  as  conveniently  may  be  after  my  decease. 

Item,  I  give  and  bequeath  unto  my  beloved  wife  Hannah  Williams  all  my 
household  goods  and  furniture  of  every  sort  and  description.  I  also  give 
and  bequeath  to  her  my  said  wife  the  sum  of  two  Thousand  Dollars  in 
Cash,  the  whole  whereof  to  be  for  her  own  use  and  at  her  entire  and 
absolute  disposal   forever. 

Item,  I  give  and  devise  unto  her  my  said  dear  wife  Hannah  Williams,  the 
messuage  and  lot  of  ground  whereon  I  now  reside,  situate,  No,  103  on  the 
East  side  of  Tenth  street  between  Cherry  and  Sassafras  streets  in  the  said 
City.  To  hold  the  same  with  the  appurtenances  unto  her  my  said  wife,  for 
and  during  all  the  term  of  her  natural  life  but  no  longer. 


WILLIAMS.  3i5 

Item.  I  further  give  and  bequeath  unto  her  my  said  dear  wife  Hannah 
Williams  an  annuity  or  yearly  sum  of  One  thousand  five  Hundred  Dollars  to

each  for  and  during  all  the  term  of  her  natural  life,  the  first  payment  thereof 
to  be  made  to  her  in  one  month  after  my  decease,  and  for  the  better  secur- 
ing the  payment  of  the  said  annuity,  I  do  hereby  make  the  same  a  lien  and 
chargeable  upon  the  whole  of  my  real  estate,  in  consideration  of  the  above 
bequests,  she  my  said  wife  shall  immediately  upon  my  decease  release  and 
relinquish  to  my  children  all  claim  or  right  of  Dower  whatever  in  my  said 
estate. 

Item  I  order  and  direct  my  executors  herein  after  named  to  retain  out  of 
and  from  my  personal  estate  the  sum  of  Ten  thousand  dollars  and  put  and 
place  the  same  out  at  interest  on  good  security  which  said  sum  and  the  inter- 
est thereon  together  with  all  excess  of  rent  of  my  real  estate  after  paying 
the  said  annuity  of  Fifteen  hundred  dollars  to  my  wife  and  deducting  all 
taxes,  ground  rents  and  necessary  repairs  of  my  estate  I  direct  shall  be 
applied  as  hereinafter  directed. 

Item,  all  the  rest  and  residue  of  my  personal  Estate  I  direct  to  be  divided

forever  and  the  remaining  part  of  the  said  One  seventh  part  I  give  and

thereof  be  paid  to  my  said  daughters  Mary  Williams,  Isabella  Williams  & 
Hannah  W.  Sterling.  And  further  in  my  will  before  referred  to  I  have 
directed  my  executors  to  pay  my  wife  the  sum  of  Two  thousand  Dollars, 
Now  my  will  is  that  in  case  of  my  surviving  my  said  wife  that  Five  hundred

remaining  Fifteen  hundred  Dollars  of  said  Two  thousand  be  paid  to  Samuel

trust  and  placed  at  interest  and  said  interest  as  received  be  divided  equally

disposition  it  take  the  same  direction  as  the  other  trust  held  by  them  under

married  James  S.  Sterling;  has  issue. 

Samuel  Williams  was  the  fifth  child,  and  the  fourth  son,  of 
Thomas  Williams  and  Mary  (Reed)  his  wife.  He  was  horn  nth 
month  23rd,  1729,  in  the  parish  of  St.  Austell,  County  of  Cornwall, 
England,  and  died  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  2nd  month,  29th,  1808. 
When  only  four  years  old,  in  1733,  he  came  with  his  parents,  and 
his  brothers,  to  their  future  home  in  Philadelphia.  They  arrived 
on  the  19th  of  November.  This  fact  is  recorded  in  an  old  family 
Bible  in  possession  of  Charles  E.  Slane,  of  the  firm  of  Charles  E. 
Slane  and  Brother  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  The  tradition  is  that  when 
on  their  way  to  the  ship  that  was  to  carry  them  to  Pennsylvania, 
they  passed  through  the  city  of  Bristol,  and  they  probably  sailed 
from  that  port.  Samuel  was  carried  in  a  pannier  hung  across  the 
back  of  a  mule,  and  his  attention  was  called  to  the  buildings  in 
Bristol.  This  made  an  impression  on  his  mind,  although  so  young, 
and  in  after  years  he  related  the  fact  to  his  son  Thomas. 

Samuel  Williams  married  Ann  Thomas.  This  event  is  recorded  in 
Philadelphia  Monthly  Meeting  Marriages.  An  abstract  of  the  entry 
reads  as  follows :  "  Samuel  Williams  of  Philadelphia,  son  of  Thomas 
deceased,  and  Ann  Thomas  of  the  same  place  daughter  of  Rees  of 
Lower  Merion,  deceased,  at  Philadelphia  Meeting,  6th  month  24th, 
1762."  Ann  Thomas  was  born  in  Merion,  7th  month  12th,  1735 
and  died  in  Philadelphia  6th  month  7th,  1809.  She  was  a  daughter 
of  Rees  Thomas  of  Merion,  by  his  wife  Elizabeth  Jones.  Samuel 
Williams  lived  on  the  west  side  of  Fourth  Street,  between  Market 
and  Chestnut  Streets.  The  house  was  at  the  southwest  corner  of 
Fourth  and  Merchants  Streets.  The  space  now  covered  by  "  The 
Bourse,"  and  was  numbers  16  and  18  South  Fourth  Street,  being 
the  southwest  corner  and  the  property  next  below,  the  whole  front 
occupied  by  the  two  houses  being  about  thirty  feet  of  the  present 
front  of  "  The  Bourse."  lie  at  one  time  lived  on  Walnut  Street 
between  8th  and  9th  Streets,  and  George  Street,  the  present  Sansom 
Street.

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  family  connections  as  shown  by  the 
order  of  the  signatures. 

Mary  Williams  was  undoubtedly  a  sister  of  Thomas  Williams. 
Thomas  Freeman  was  a  brother-in-law  to  Mary  Reed,  the  bride. 
He  had  married  Katherine  Reed.  Here  is  the  extract  of  the  entry  as 
found  in  Friends'  Marriages  Cornish,  at  Devonshire  House,  Bishops- 
gate  Without,  London.  "  Thomas  Freeman,  late  of  Glastonbury 
County  Somerset,  and  Katherine  Reed  of  Liscard,  County  Cornwall 
nth  month  nth,  1712." 

Samuel  Hopwood  married  Ann  Freeman,  believed  to  have  been 
a  sister  to  Thomas  Freeman  who  married  as  above  mentioned.  Here 
is  the  entry.  "  Samuel  Hopwood  of  Yorkshire  and  Ann  Freeman  of 
Austel,  Co.,  Cornwall,  at  Tregangeeves,  8th  month  1st,  1706." 

Samuel  Hopwood,  Jr.,  and  Matilda  Hopwood  were  children  of 
Samuel  and  Ann  Hopwood,  perhaps  twelve  to  fourteen  years  old. 
Joanna  Goodeare,  or  Goodyer,  was  without  doubt  a  near  connection, 
but  how  does  not  appear.  Her  maiden  name  was  Treffrey,  and  she 
had  married  Ephraim  Goodeare,  who  signs  but  not  as  relative  on 
8th  month  5th  1710  at  Tregangeeves."  He  was  of  the  parish  of 
Mevagissey,  and  she  was  of  Austell  (St.  Austell)  at  the  time  of  this 
marriage. 

Mary  Reed  was  baptized  on  the  27th  of  March,  1694,  at  Men- 
heniot  near  Liskeard,  county  Cornwall,  and  died  in  Philadelphia. 
September  10th,  1767.  These  dates  are  taken  from  an  old  family 
Bible  in  the  possession  of  Charles  E.  Slane,  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  a 
descendant  of  Thomas  Williams  and  Mary  Reed.     Mary  Reed  was 

a  daughter  of  John  Reed  and  Melior of  Menhenett,  county 

Cornwall. 

This  parish,  the  church  dedicated  to  St.  Neot,  is  in  the  union  of 
Liskeard,  Middle  Division  of  the  hundred  of  East,  in  the  Eastern 
Division  of  Cornwall,  two  and  one  half  miles  east-southeast  of 
Liskeard.

The  borough  of  Liskeard  is  on  the  road  from  St.  Austell  through 
Lostwithiel  to  Callington,  in  fact  this  road  is  the  main  thorough- 
fare between  Devonshire  and  Penzance.  Melior  as  a  given  name 
to  a  woman  is  one  peculiar  to  Cornwall  and  Cornish  families. 

Thomas  Williams  and  his  wife  Mary,  and  their  children  Thomas, 
Jr.,  Joseph,  Samuel  and  Andrew,  arrived  in  Philadelphia,  November

Bristol. 

As  recorded,  Thomas  Williams,  the  father,  lived  but  little  over  a

and  was  buried  within  the  Church  of  St.  Mewan,  on  the  5th  of 
March.  St.  Mewan  is  a  parish  in  the  union  of  St.  Austell,  east  divi- 
sion of  the  Hundred  of  Powder  and  one  mile  west  by  south  from 
St.  Austell. 

The  following  is  a  transcript  of  the  will  of  Andrew  Williams, 
from  the  original  at  the  Registry  Court  of  Bodmin,  Cornwall :

Probate  of  Andrew  Williams.  And  upon  the  same  day  there  issued  probate 
of  the  said  will  to  the  executors  therein  named  viz:  to  John  William  who 
made  oath  well  &  truly  to  administer  and  to  Thomas  Williams  who  being 
a  Quaker  made  a  solemn  &  sincere  affirmation  to  the  like  according  to  the 
truth  in  that  behalf. 

Several  important  things  appear  from  this  will  and  inventory. 
Andrew  Williams  and  his  wife  were  both  people  of  standing  in  the 
community  in  which  they  had  lived,  both  being  buried  within  the 
Church.  Andrew  was  a  man  of  considerable  property.  The  total 
of  the  inventory  £212:  15:  06,  being  equal  at  the  present  time  to 
several  thousand  dollars.  He  held  by  lease  two  mills  and  tenements 
in  Gover  besides  freehold  lands.1  From  information  kindly  fur- 
nished by  Rev.  W.  Iago,  Westheath,  Bodmin,  Cornwall,  in  a  letter 
dated  December  18,  1897,  it  is  learned  that  the  name  Gover  means 
a  stream.    He  writes, 

1  Any  land  included  in  an  inventory  of  that  date  was  leased  land,  which  is 
personal  property.  Freehold  and  Copyhold  land,  which  in  England  descends  to  the 
eldest  son  and  heir,  was  never  included  in  an  inventory  until  a  recent  Act  of 
Parliament. — Editor. 


WILLIAMS.  335 

"  In  old  Cornish  the  word  '  Gover  '  signifies  '  stream  '  or  '  rivulet.'  So  it  is 
quite  proper  a  name  for  the  locality  of  a  mill  or  mills."  Cornish  and  Welsh 
were  identical,  being  dialects  of  the  Celtic  language  and  so  we  find  '  Gofer,' 
Welsh   for  '  stream '  or  '  rivulet.'   .  .  ." 

As  to  the  location  of  the  mills  and  Gover  Valley,  a  letter  from 
the  Rev.  Joseph  Hammond,  Vicar  of  St.  Austell,  and  a  book  recently 
written  by,him,  entitled  "  A  History  of  a  Cornish  Parish,"  gives  an 
account  of  St.  Austell,  seem  to  fix  the  spot.  Canon  Hammond  in  his 
letter  of  the  25th  of  April,  1898,  writes : 

"  Now  as  to  the  Gover  Valley,  you  have  my  book  apparently,  if  you  will 
turn  to  the  map  you  will  see  that  Trevarrick  lies  to  the  right  of  the  road 
leading  to  Tregangeeves,  St  Mewan  and  on  to  Truro.  .  .  .  The  cornmill 
is  close  to  the  road.  Present  owner  of  the  estate,  R.  G.  Lakes  Esq.,  .  .  . 
A.  road  ends  abruptly  under  the  word  Trevarrick  in  the  map,  that  road 
continued  goes  up  the  Gover  Valley.  About  a  mile  from  St  Austell  it  turns 
to  the  right  and  goes  under  the  railway  line."  .  .  .  The  corn-mill  belongs 
to  Mr.  Lakes,  he  is  a  son  of  Mr.  Henry  Lakes.  Mr.  R.  G.  Lakes  is  now  over 
80.     Trevarrick,  St.  Austell,  will  find  him." 

In  his  book,  Canon  Hammond,  states,  "  On  descending  the  road  to  Truro  the 
first  place  we  come  to  is  Trevarrick,  our  West  End.  On  the  right  looking 
up  the  valley  is  the  corn-mill.  .  .  .  On  the  left  on  top  of  the  hill  is  Tregan- 
geeves, a  bleak  wind  blown  spot.  It  was  given  for  a  burial  place  for  the 
Friends  by  Thomas  Lower.  He  was  a  London  physician  who  had  visited 
George  Fox  in  Launceston  jail  and  had  become  converted  to  Quakerism."' 

In  "  A  Parochial  History  of  Cornwall,"  Vol.  i,  there  will  be  found 
an  account  of  St.  Austell.  In  speaking  of  the  owners  of  estates 
and  land,  it  mentions  that  Robert  Gould  Lakes,  Esq.,  a  county  magis- 
trate, had  a  neat  modern  seat  at  Trevarrick.  This  book  was  pub- 
lished in   1867. 

It  would  thus  appear  that  some  of  the  tenements  and  the  mills 
which  Andrew  Williams  owned  were  located  on  what  is  now  the 
Trevarrick  Estate,  and  that  they  were  situate  part  way  between 
St.  Austell  and  St.  Mewan,  i.  e.,  the  two  churches.  This  would 
account  for  the  children  of  Andrew  Williams  and  his  wife  Eliza- 
beth, being  baptised  sometimes  at  one  church  and  again  at  the  other. 

Children  of  Andrew  Williams  and  Elizabeth  his  wife: 

Margaret,  baptised  at  St.  Austell,  28th  of  February,  1692-3 ;  married  15th 
May,  1714,  at  St.  Mewan,  William  Parnell,  then  of  the  latter 
place.

ANCESTRY    OF  ANDREW   WILLIAMS. 

A  critical  review  of  Mr.  Lloyd's  notes  in  re  the  Williams  family,  and  a 
partial  examination  of  the  numerous  records  in  the  Record  Office  relating 
to  the  neighbourhood  in  which  the  family  resided,  has  brought  to  light  in- 
formation, which,  if  in  some  particulars  is  not  absolutely  conclusive,  is 
nevertheless,  of  considerable  value  in  the  absence  of  other  evidence,  in  de- 
termining the  ancestry  of  Andrew  Williams.  Concerning  the  latter  much  is 
known.  He  appears  to  have  been  born  during  the  Commonwealth  period, 
which  accounts  for  the  fact  that  no  record  of  his  baptism  exists.  All  parish 
registers  are  very  defective  for  this  period,  and  many  have  no  entries  what- 
ever. St.  Austell  and  the  adjoining  parishes  are  no  exception  to  this  rule. 
The  entries  for  St.  Austell,  especially,  are  missing  for  1649,  1652,  1653  and 
1654,  and  for  the  remaining  years  to  1660  are  imperfect.  If  Andrew  Williams 
was  born,  say,  in  1654,  he  would  have  been  76  years  old  at  the  time  of  his 
death.  We  must,  therefore,  look  elsewhere  than  in  parish  registers  for 
proof  of  Andrew's  parentage.  Wills  and  administrations  (  the  most  impor- 
tant missing)  afford  us  no  information. 

Towards  the  close  of  the  seventeenth  century  there  were  two  families 
named  Williams,  doubtless  kin  to  each  other,  living  in  St.  Austell.  The 
first  of  these  was  that  of  Hugh  Williams,  a  son  of  Richard  Williams  of 
Trewithian  (by  Margaret  Russell,  his  wife)  descended  from  the  Williams 
family  of  Trevervo,  which  originally  came  from  Dorsetshire.  Hugh  Williams 
removed  to  St.  Austell,  where  most  of  his  children  were  born,  and  where 
many  of  his  descendants  continued  to  live.  He  died,  however,  in  the  ad- 
jacent parish  of  St.  Blazey,  and  his  will  is  dated  29  March,  and  was  proved  6 
Nov.,  1703  (P.  C.  C.  Degg  218).  The  issue  of  Hugh  Williams,  born  be- 
tween 1678  and  1687,  are  all  known  and  accounted  for. 

The  other  family  of  Williams  of  St.  Austell  was  seated  in  that  parish,  and 
the  adjoining  one  of  St.  Mewan,  before  the  year  1592.  From  this  family 
Andrew  Williams  undoubtedly  descended. 


WILLIAMS.  337 

Turning  to  Andrew  Williams's  will,  dated  5  March,  1730/1,  proved  15th  of 
the  same  month,  we  find  that  he  devised  the  Gover  Mills  to  his  sons,  John 
and  Thomas.  This  was  leasehold  property  in  St.  Mewan  parish,  held,  doubt- 
less, on  long  lease.  He  also  devises  a  tenement  called  Gover,  seemingly  free- 
hold, to  his  daughters.  That  he  held  other  freehold  or  copyhold  property  in 
St.  Austell  Parish,  where  he  resided  at  the  time  of  his  marriage  and  until 
about  1700,  which  descended,  in  the  absence  of  specific  testamentary  disposal, 
according  to  English  law,  to  his  eldest  son  and  heir,  John  Williams,  seems 
certain,  and  it  appears  that  Andrew  Williams  succeeded  to  this  property  upon 
the  death  of  Thomas  Williams  of  St.  Austell,  in  1687/8.  The  Subsidy  or 
Tax  Rolls  for  St.  Austell  show  that  Thomas  Williams  held  this  property  as 
early  as  12  Charles  II.,  and  he  succeeds  another  Thomas  Williams,  who  died 
1641/2.  As  to  the  Thomas  Williams  first  above  named,  who,  beyond  doubt 
was  father  of  Andrew,  he  was  buried  at  St.  Austell  9  Feb.,  1687/8.  He  ap- 
pears to  have  left  a  will,  which  is  missing,  but  an  inventory  of  his  estate, 
dated  24  Feb.,  1687/8,  remains  in  the  Probate  Registry  at  Bodmin.  He  was 
born,  probably,  about  the  year  1627.  His  father,  Thomas  Williams,  died 
about  Feb.,  1641/2.  The  only  remaining  document  relating  to  his  estate  is  the 
inventory,  taken  4  Feb.,  1641/2,  and  filed  28  Feb.  of  the  same  year.  As  the 
Act  Books  for  Bodmin  are  missing  we  are  left  in  doubt  as  to  whether  he  died 
intestate  or  left  a  will.  He  married,  at  St.  Austell,  1626,  Melior  Scollier. 
We  have  no  Subsidy  Rolls  at  this  period  to  guide  us,  but  there  is  little  doubt 
that  Thomas  was  the  son  of  John  Williams  of  St.  Austell,  who  died  1608-9,  an 
inventory  of  whose  estate  was  filed  16  Jan.,  1608/9,  at  Bodmin.  This  John 
Williams,  the  date  of  whose  birth  must  have  been  about  1660-70,  married, 
23  Oct.,  1597,  at  St.  Austell,  Jane  Scollier  (or  Scollar)  a  kinswoman  of  the 
Melior  Scollier  who  married,  as  above  noted,  in  1626,  Thomas  Williams. 
John  Williams  appears  to  have  had  a  brother  Edward,  who  died  in  St. 
Austell  in  1604. 

It  seems  probable  that  Edward  and  John  Williams  were  the  sons  of 
Sampson  Williams  of  St.  Mewan,  whose  will  was  proved  at  Bodmin  9  Jan., 
1586/7,  but  which  is  now  missing. 

Mr.  Lloyd  states  his  belief  that  all  of  the  Williams  families  of  St.  Austell, 
St.  Mewan,  St.  Bazey,  and  neighbouring  parishes  were  cadets  of  the  Trevervo 
family,  a  statement  which  is  supported  by  local  tradition.  The  probable  date 
of  the  birth  of  Sampson  Williams  corresponds  to  that  of  John,  father  of 
Baltizer  Williams  of  Trevervo,  whose  brother  he  may  have  been;  but  the 
Williams  pedigree  (Visitations  of  Cornwall,  by  Lieut.-Col.  Vivian)  does  not 
give    the    junior    issue    of    William    Williams    of    Trevervo.     This    William 

Williams  married  a  daughter  of Jennings  of  Clemense.  in  Cornwall.     He 

was  the  son  of  John  Williams  of  Hernington  in  Dorsetshire,  who,  having 
married  the  heiress  of  Trevervo,  removed  to  that  place.  Further  research,  in 
the  Manor  Rolls,  if  they  exist,  the  Rolls  of  the  Feet  of  Fine,  and  other 
records  in  the  Public  Record  Office  relating  to  this  part  of  Cornwall  would 
probably    confirm    absolutely    the    above    outlined    tentative    pedigree.     [The

Since  the  above  was  written  a  further  investigation  has  been  made  regard- 
ing the  parentage  and  ancestry  of  Andrew  Williams  of  St.  Austell.  The 
evidences  cited  above  have  been  re-examined,  and  additional  searches  have 
been  made,  with  the  following  results. 

It  is  certain  that  Andrew  Williams  succeeded  Thomas  Williams  of  St. 
Austell,  who  was  buried  9  Feb.,  1687-8,  in  the  ownership  of  certain  real 
property  in  the  latter  parish.  This  fixes  Andrew's  parentage.  It  is  likewise 
certain  that  the  grandfather  of  Andrew  was  Thomas  Williams,  of  St.  Austell, 
who  died  1641-2,  and  who  married,  1626,  Melior  Scollier  (as  above  noted) 
This  last  Thomas  was,  it  seems  clear,  a  son  of  John  Williams,  of  St.  Austell, 
who  married,  23rd  Oct.,  1597,  Jane  Scollar,  and  died  1608-9.  Owing  to  the 
very  imperfect  records  it  is  not  possible  to  prove  by  conclusive  evidence 
the  parentage  of  this  John  Williams;  but  from  the  devolution  of  property 
and  other  circumstances,  it  is  practically  certain  that  he  was  the  son  of 
Sampson  Williams  of  the  adjoining  parish  of  St.  Mewan,  whose  will  was 
proved  at  Bodmin,  9th  Jan.,  1586-7.  There  can  be  no  reasonable  doubt  that 
this  Williams  family  was  an  offshoot  of  Williams  of  Trevervo,  and  there  is 
considerable  circumstantial  evidence  on  this  point  to  justify  the  family  tradi- 
tion to  that  effect;  but  information  so  far  gathered  relating  to  that  period  in 
the  history  of  the  neighbourhood  of  St.  Austell  and  Trevervo,  does  not 
warrant  a  more  definite  opinion  on  the  connection  than  already  expressed. 

The  Williams  family  of  Trevervo  was  originally  from  Dorsetshire,  and  of 
Welsh  origin.  The  earlier  portion  of  the  pedigree  is  involved  in  some  ob- 
scurity, and  there  are  conflicting  accounts.  Their  arms,  however,  indicate 
descent  from  the  tribe  of  Iorwerth  Sais,  of  Lanynys,  who  was  fifth  in  descent 
from  Cowryd  ap  Cadran,  Lord  of  Ceinmarch.  A  number  of  families  sur- 
named  Williams  sprang  from  this  stock,  both  by  direct  male  descent,  as  in 
the  case  of  Williams  of  Ysgeibion  Elis,  and  through  intermarriage,  as  in- 
stanced by  Williams  of  Llanfordaf,  of  which  family  Sir  William  Williams, 
of  Llanfordaf,  Bart.,  who  died  1740,  married  Jane  Wynn,  of  the  Gwydir  line, 
and  was  father  of  Sir  Watkyn  William  Wynn.  It  should  be  understood, 
however,  that  the  surname  of  Williams,  which  is  very  general  in  Wales, 
does  not,  in  most  cases,  imply  any  relationship. — Editor.

WOOD 


WOOD. 

George  Wood  was  born  about  1625,  the  exact  date  and  place  not 
having  been  ascertained.  He  was  a  man  of  some  means,  for  he  was 
a  purchaser  of  1000  acres  of  land.  (Pennsylvania  Archives,  Vol.  i, 
pp.  39,  40,  45,  "  Sales  in  England,  by  William  Penn,  of  Land  in 
Pennsylvania."  The  date  is,  22nd  day  of  the  3rd  month,  1682,  name, 
George  Wood.  .  1,000.) 

George  Wood  and  his  wife  Hannah  or,  as  she  was  sometimes 
called,  Anna,  and  their  children,  removed  to  the  Province  in  the 
year  1682.  Their  certificate  of  removal  is  dated  5th  month  27th, 
1682,  and  was  from  Matlock,  Monyash  and  Ashford  Monthly  Meet- 
ing; but  whether  Hannah  was  his  first  and  only  wife,  the  records 
examined  do  not  state.    They  came  from  a  hamlet  called  Bonsall. 

The  parishes  of  Matlock  and  Bonsall  are  near  the  village  of  Win- 
ster.  Bonsall  is  a  parish  in  the  hundred  of  Wirksworth,  Southern 
Division  of  the  county  of  Derby.  The  inhabitants  were  formerly 
mostly  employed  in  limestone  quarries  and  the  mining  of  lead  in  the 
neighbouring  hills.  Matlock  (St.  Giles)  is  a  parish  in  the  union  of 
Bakewell,  hundred  of  Wirksworth.  It  is  celebrated  for  its  medicinal 
springs,  and  in  the  account  given  of  it  in  1842,  it  states  "the  lead 
mines  were  formerly  worked  to  a  great  extent."  It  was  at  Monyash 
(a  chapelry,  in  the  parish  and  union  of  Bakewell,  hundred  of  High 
Peak,  Northern  Division  of  the  county  of  Derby)  that  the  meeting- 
house of  the  Society  of  Friends,  was  located.  These  places  are  all 
near  the  Peak  of  Derbyshire.  Hannah  Wood  died  in  Darby,  1687, 
and  was  buried  on  1st  month  9th,  1687.  As  has  already  been  stated 
George  Wood  was  a  purchaser  of  land  in  the  Province  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. Pennsylvania  Archives,  Second  Series,  Vol.  xix,  pp.  327  and 
337,  Property  Minute  Book  "  G  "  contains  the  following : 

At  a  Session  of  the  Commissioners  at  Philadelphia  the  5th  of  8th  ber, 
1702.  Present,  Griffith  Owen,  Thomas  Story,  James  Logan,  Secretary. 
Geo.  Wood  purchaser  of  1,000  A's,  procured  of  the  Prop'ry  a  Warrant  dated 
2,  s  mo.,  '83,  for  20  Acres  L.  L.  John  Blunston,  purchaser  of  1500  A's,  pro- 
cured another  of  the  same  date  for  30  A's.  Tho's  Whitby,  purchaser  of  500 
Acres,  by  Deeds  dated  12  and  13  Apr.,  '82,  had  a  Warr't  dated  6,  5  mo.,  1702,

for  10  A's,  and  Sam'll  Bradshaw,  purchaser  of  500  A's,  took  up  10  A's 
together  with  the  rest  which  were  all  Survey'd  together,  but  the  Warr't  ap- 
pears not.  Jno.  Bl.,  Geo.  Wo.,  Sam'll  Bradshaw  and  Ad  Roads,  by  Vertue 
of  a  power  from  Tho.  Whitby,  convey'd  all  the  said  70  A's,  being  all  located 
near  Darby  Continguous  by  a  Deed  Under  all  their  hands  and  Seals  dated 
22d  4  mo.,  1691,  to  Lewis  Walker,  of  Haverf'd,  who  by  Deed  dat.  9th  Mar., 
'93-4,  convey'd  the  same  to  Lewis  David  of  said  place,  who,  by  Deed  dated  the 
same  day,  convey'd  the  whole  to  John  Ball  of  Darby,  who  requests  a  resur. 
and  Pat't.     Gra'td. 

Among  a  list  of  land-owners,  or  land-holders,  in  1689,  in  the 
county  of  Chester,  George  Wood's  name  appears  for  655  acres. 
Ashmead's  "  History  of  Delaware  County,"  has  this  to  say  about  this 
tract  of  land,  page  532. 

..."  At  a  point  a  trifle  west  of  Lansdowne  Station,  a  line  drawn  to  the  New 
Jerusalem  Church,  and  thence  due  west  to  the  old  Marker  Paper-Mills,  on 
Darby  Creek,  and  then  following  the  creek  to  the  bend  above  the  Lower 
Darby  line,  and  thence  due  east  to  the  post  a  short  distance  west  of  Lans- 
downe Station,  was  a  large  tract  containing  six  hundred  and  fifty-five  acres, 
surveyed  to  George  Wood  November  6th,  1682.  This  tract  subsequently  was 
divided  among  his  descendants,  and  two  hundred  acres  of  the  lower  part 
were  conveyed  to  Richard  Bonsall  March  1,  1697-8.  On  the  land  acquired 
by  Bonsall,  Kellyville  is  located." 

It  appears  that  George  Wood  was  a  member  of  Assembly  for  one 
term.  His  name  will  be  found  among  the  Chester  County  represen- 
tatives for  the  year  1683,  with  John  Hoskins,  Robert  Wade,  John 
Blunston,  Dennis  Rochford,  Thomas  Bracey,  John  Bezar,  John 
Harding,  and  Joseph  Phipps.  George  Wood  died  2nd  month  27th, 
1705,  in  Darby.  His  will,  of  which  a  brief  extract  is  here  given,  is 
at  the  Register  of  Wills  office  at  Philadelphia,  and  is  recorded  in 
Book  C,  page  317. 

Will  of  George  Wood  dated  29th  of  5th  month,  1606.  He  calls  himself, 
George  Wood  of  Darby,  Chester  County.  Yeoman.  Mentions  his  daughters 
Mary,  Elizabeth  and  Elinor,  to  have  a  shilling  each.  Son  John  to  have  all  the

WYNNE 


WYNNE. 

Mr.  Lloyd's  MSS.  include  a  large  number  of  notes  connected  with  his  re- 
searches in  re  the  parentage  and  ancestry  of  Dr.  Thomas  Wynne;  but  at  the 
time  of  his  death  no  conclusion  had  been  reached.  A  tentative  pedigree, 
typewritten,  found  among  his  papers,  is  marked  as  incorrect,  and  there  is 
a  note  to  the  effect  that  further  search  had  been  abandoned,  because  of  tbe 
difficulty  in  identifying  the  many  persons  named  Thomas  Wynne,  who  were 
contempory  with  the  Pennsylvania  settler.  The  search  was  subsequently 
undertaken  for  Richard  Y.  Cook,  Esq.,  of  Philadelphia,  and  the  results, 
which  were  published  under  the  title  of  "  Ancestry  of  Dr.  Thomas  Wynne,"1 
Dr.  Thomas  Wynne  was  born  at  Bron  Vadog,  near  Caerwys,  and  baptized  at 
Bodfari,  20  July,  1627,  being  the  second  son  of  Thomas  ap  John  Wynne,  of 
Bron  Vadog. 

A  tradition  long  existed  among  Dr.  Wynne's  descendants  that  he  was  nearly 
related  to  the  famous  family  of  Wynn  of  Gwydir.  The  relationship,  which 
was  through  intermarriage,  is  shown  on  a  chart  under  Williams,  a  portion 
of  which  was  compiled  from  material  found  among  the  Lloyd  MSS.  indicate 
that  further  research  by  Mr.  Lloyd  would  have  produced  the  same  results. —

CALENDAR      OF      MSS.      IN      COLLEC- 
TION   OF    THE    LATE   JAMES    J. 
LEVICK,   M.D. 

The  following  calendar  is  compiled  from  a  partial  list  made  by 
Howard  Williams  Lloyd,  in  November  and  December,  1896  (the 
MSS.  being  then  in  the  hands  of  Richard  Cadbury,  Esq.,  733  Drexel 
Building,  Philadelphia),  and  from  notes  made  by  T.  A.  Glenn,  who 
examined  the  papers  prior  to  Dr.  Levick's  decease.

office  of  Sheriff  for  the  county  of  Merioneth  in  1602  and  1615.  By 
the  marriage  of  his  granddaughter  Catharine,  daughter  of  Ellice 
(or  Ellis)  Lloyd,  Esq.,  with  Henry,  tenth  son  of  Sir  John  Wynn 
of  Gwydir,  Bart.,  the  Rhiwgoch  estates  passed  into  the  family  of 
Wynn,  and  were  bequeathed,  together  with  his  other  lands,  by  Sir 
John  Wynn  of  Wynnstay  to  his  kinsman  Watkyn  Williams,  eldest 
son  of  Sir  William  Williams,  of  Llanvorda,  Bart,  who,  thereupon, 
assumed  the  additional  surname  of  Wynn. 

Morgan  Vaughan,  gentleman.  He  was  the  son  of  Sion  (i.  e., 
John)  ap  Morgan  ap  John,  of  Celli  Ierwerth,  and  descended  from 
Osborne  Fitz  Gerald  of  Cors  y  Gedol,  Merionethshire,  an  Irishman 
who  settled  in  Wales  in  the  time  of  Prince  Llewelyn  ap  Iorwerth. 
Morgan  ap  John,  Morgan  Vaughan's  grandfather,  is  named  as  a 
party  to  a  deed  dated  11  August,  1589.  Sion  (John)  ap  Morgan 
married  Lowry,  daughter  of  Ellissau  ap  William,  of  Rhiwgoch,  and 
besides  Morgan  Vaughan,  had  a  second  son  named  Ellis  ap  John.

ap  Lewis,  and  had  issue  by  her:  John  ap  Morgan,  Foulke  Morgan, 
William  Morgan,  Ellis  Morgan,  and  Griffith  Morgan,  all  born  before

purchased  by  Sir  Edward  Lloyd,  Bart. 

Moris  (or  Morris)  Williams  was  of  Hafodgaregog,  and  was
